In a recent study of U.S. presidents' personality traits, Lyndon Johnson ranked highest in grandiose narcissism.
While it frequently gets a bad rap, grandiose narcissism may predict both positive and negative leadership behaviors, according to a group of researchers who published a paper in October in Psychological Science.

The first question any homicide investigator asks is “Who benefits?”
Actually, there’s plenty of competition.
Woodrow Wilson. Teddy Roosevelt. FDR.
But I’d agree that The One tops them all.
Ahhhhh! The levitating obama picture! I’d lost track of it!
Andrew Jackson was up there as well.
This is far from the first book fingering Johnson in that crime.
Why read it then if just a duplicate?
Payback is a b*tch. JFK chose LBJ as his running mate because, although he knew that Mayor Daley will steal Chicago for him, he needed LBJ to steal Texas as well. Otherwise he had no chance to win the election.
LBJ was a second Mafia boss, in effect.
I wouldn’t put anything past LBJ
Good point. Aside from LBJ's obvious benefit of moving up to the presidency, there were government investigations going on at the time which very well could have led to criminal charges against him, especially since his nemesis Bobby Kennedy was Attorney General. Killing JFK and moving to the White House would surely solve that problem for Johnson. And, as I said, LBJ had, in all probability, killed before.
There was one critical piece of physical evidence found by a private detective years after the assassination: a fingerprint identified as belonging to an LBJ associate in the "sniper's nest" in the Texas School Book Depository Building!
It's not just a duplicate. There is new information gleaned from the author's personal research and his personal contacts. The author, Roger Stone, is a career GOP political insider, and knew a lot of people, especially Richard Nixon, very well.
Lyndon Bird was an immoral bastard who forced a few female reporters into bed as a favor to their president. He would interview his underlings while he squatted on the WH crapper.
He was very proud, however, not of his country but of his enormous schwanschticker.
In short. He was an animal.
In the book I mentioned, "The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ," Chapter 1 is titled "LBJ - The Man." It has a bunch of anecdotes about him like yours and the authors come to pretty much the same conclusion.
Why don’t you just say the majority of them bad wise are or have been democrats.
1. LBJ was a crook & a slimeball, capable of almost anything.
2. George Pharr did pack the ballot box #13 for LBJ in Duvall County in 1948. He voted just short of 200 names in alphabetic order from the grave yard register. It was shown to be the case later and it was not prosecuted. This put LBJ in the Senate.
3. As a young man I knew all about Landslide Lyndon. JC Davis was the Asst. Attorney General of TX (for several administrations) and he was a good friend of my grandfather. He always came to visit my grandfather when he came to see his dad. In those days TX was 100% Democrat. No GOP office holders. But those Democrats were very fiscal conservative. Much more so than current GOP officeholders. JC Davis loathed LBJ and I heard all the stories.
4. In my opinion LBJ did not kill Kennedy.
5. Cuban Mafia? Probably. With help from others, Possibly some CIA? Some were also involved in the Bay of Pigs. Which Kennedy really betrayed.
LBJ’s next-door neighbor was J. Edgar Hoover. Supposedly, the White House dictaphone recordings have a conversation between Hoover and LBJ after the assassination where LBJ asks Hoover if any shots were aimed at him.
If you’re in on the conspiracy, you probably don’t have to ask anyone that question.
The most common defense the Soviets had in denying their role in the shooting was to ask “If we were behind this, would we have been so obvious as to employ a man who had defected to Russia?”
In the same manner, if LBJ were behind this, would he have been so obvious as to have it done in Texas?
He was the president who started escalation of Vietnam. He was a runny POS who gave away all out plans to the N Vietnamese in his addresses.
Good chance he had Kennedy killed. Fought the war to NOT WIN IT. Nixon looked like Jefferson by comparison.
Yet the current POSOTUS is by far the worst resident of the White House since there was such an edifice.
Agree. And I loathed LBJ from my youth.
Wouldn't Texas be about the "safest" place for LBJ to get away with it, because he would have had more clout with state and local law enforcement than anywhere else in the US?
This is probably the reason so much of the JFK info has been under a 50 year seal.
Guess what 2013 turns out to be.
There are some good points to think LBJ was connected but ultimately I’m not convinced. Many who watched him during those hours just after the assassination felt LBJ was scared out of his mind that the Russians, the Cubans or both were about to launch a full-on attack. Lyndon was a lot of things but a skilled actor was not one of them. Someone like him never needed to hide his true intentions.
Thanks for the ping!
