[PROCON]

The worst side effect of the assassination was that LBJ took office;

A funny aside...

There was a comedy album around 1965, can't remember who, that mocked LBJ in the following way: (LBJ speaking),

My fellow Americans, I come here today, not as your President

Not as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force

But as a poor barefoot boy from Texas, who has become your King...

[RJS1950]

I vaguely remember that but we much preferred Rusty Warren’s Knockers Up at the time.
