That's hard to believe. Maybe it's just eye trouble.

Stumbled over this old, related topic quite by accident:
Book excerpt: LBJ outfoxed HHH

As senators in the early 1950s, Hubert Humphrey and Lyndon Johnson became friends and allies, each hoping to use the other to advance his own ambitions, according to an excerpt from a new book by Johnson biographer Robert Caro.

But Johnson, the master manipulator, outfoxed Humphrey and laid the groundwork for a relationship that would evolve into the humiliation of Humphrey during the years (1964-68) when Humphrey was Johnson's running mate and vice president, according to Caro's new book, which is excerpted in the March 4 issue of the New Yorker magazine.

The book itself didn't want to show up in Amazon's search engine until I found the actual title of the book (other titles, not this one, showed up in author name search).

Here's a joke you may appreciate....
Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington as part of his campaign.
Kerry's campaign manager made a visit to the Cardinal and said to him, "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint."
The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to do it.
Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his homily. "John Kerry is petty, a self absorbed hypocrite and a nit-wit. He is a liar, a cheat, and a thief. He is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever personally known. But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint.

...the morally bankrupt Dems.

You aren't kidding, my friend. Degeneracy, amorality, intellectual bankruptcy, fringe mania, victimhood, blame-only mentality, hatred, anger, vice and socially destructive behavior are the only remaining binding forces of the Babykiller Party.

Anyone who votes Democrat these day is a disordered soul. You can bank on that.

Here's what I found very interesting in that article.

Johnson’s close aide Walter Jenkins asked Cartha D. “Deke” DeLoach, assistant to the director of the FBI, to set up covert surveillance of the MFDP and Martin Luther King, Jr. For several days the FBI used wiretaps and bugs to record and relay reports of the MFDP’s strategy sessions to the President’s advisers. At the same time, agents posing as NBC reporters (and working with the network’s explicit approval) tricked MFDP strategists into revealing “off-the-record” information that ultimately proved useful to Johnson’s surrogates.

Has NBC ever 'apologized'? ;~))

Snag a string of words with quotation marks, e.g. "MFDP began presenting its case to the Credentials Committee on Saturday, August 22"

Then enter it in a search engine:

"MFDP began presenting its case to the Credentials Committee on Saturday, August 22"

The “Southern Manifesto”

102 Cong. Rec. 4515-16 (1956)

[Signed March 1956 by 19 Senators and 81 Representatives from the South—including all of Georgia’s congressional delegation] .

We regard the decision of the Supreme Court in the school cases as a clear abuse of judicial power. It climaxes a trend in the Federal judiciary undertaking to legislate, in derogation of the authority of Congress, and to encroach upon the reserved rights of the States and the people.

The original Constitution does not mention education. Neither does the 14th amendment nor any other amendment. The debates preceding the submission of the 14th amendment clearly show that there was no intent that it should affect the systems of education maintained by the States.

The very Congress which proposed the amendment subsequently provided for segregated schools in the District of Columbia.

When the amendment was adopted, in 1868, there were 37 States of the Union. Every one of the 26 States that had any substantial racial differences among its people either approved the operation of segregated schools already in existence or subsequently established such schools by action of the same lawmaking body which considered the 14th amendment.

Though there has been no constitutional amendment or act of Congress changing this established legal principle almost a century old, the Supreme Court of the United States, with no legal basis for such action, undertook to exercise their naked judicial power and substituted their personal political and social ideas for the established law of the land.

This unwarranted exercise of power by the Court, contrary to the Constitution, is creating chaos and confusion in the States principally affected. It is destroying the amicable relations between the white and Negro races that have been created through 90 years of patient effort by the good people of both races. It has planted hatred and suspicion where there has been heretofore friendship and understanding.

With the gravest concern for the explosive and dangerous condition created by this decision and inflamed by outside meddlers:

We reaffirm our reliance on the Constitution as the fundamental law of the land.

We decry the Supreme Court’s encroachments on rights reserved to the States and to the people, contrary to established law and to the Constitution.

We commend the motives of those States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means. . . .

We pledge ourselves to use all lawful means to bring about a reversal of this decision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its implementatioN.


So...I found it and cut and pasted it here, read it twice, but I’m an Aussie and can’t say I fully understand what it all means. Would you care to translate for me?
