I figured it just sucks! :)
There are thousands of historians across the US who idolized not just JFK and RFK....but LBJ. I had some Louisiana Tech professor who could talk for hours on LBJ and felt he was the last real southern political figure. If health issues had not come up...I suspect he would have run in 1968, and Nixon would have been unable to beat him. No Watergate, and 1972...we would have had Nixon in place for eight years. Totally different atmosphere today....if things had played out.
Could also be good — but boring.
I heard Robert Downey Jr. was offered the MLK Jr. role after he did pineapple express.
