I once lost $40 in a bar bet because I was convinced she was not still alive. And that was 10 years ago.
Long live Lady Bird.

Today Lady Bird leads a life devoted to her husband's memory. . .Very forgiving, given how he treated her.

Lady Bird was a lot smarter than LBJ; not quite as crooked.
I hope she has a happy birthday.

Ever read "Capitol Hill in Black and White?" A tremendous book. I forget the author's name but he was an African American who worked in Congress and did some other jobs for Johnson including chauffering. He makes it clear Lyndon was not exactly faithful to Lady Bird and he could be quite a sleaze.
I always thought Lady Bird was a more decent character until I read in this book that once she refused to let a black secret service agent touch her when she was in the presence of Sen Strom Thurmond's first wife. Mrs Thurmond was a bigot apparently, and Lady Bird didn't want to offend her. My opinion of her went down after that.

Very forgiving, given how he treated her.According to White House tapes released recently, LJB bragged that he'd had more women by accident than Kennedy had on purpose.

Very forgiving, given how he treated her.I have a hard time understanding how someone can remain with a serial adulterer.
