When John Kennedy was shot in 1963, Lyndon Johnson, succeeding him, was in the driveway outside the White House, falling in behind the hearse for the march up Pennsylvania Avenue to the requiem Mass. The Secret Service and people on his staff were against this. Too dangerous, they kept telling him. "I'd rather be shot than let anybody think I'm afraid to go out on that street," Johnson said.

That, of course, we AFTER he cowered like a baby and cried in a back room with NO WINDOWS at the hospital in Dallas and couldn't get on Air Force One and OUT of his OWN state fast enough.

If it's true at all. I'd bet $50 he only did it because he was forced to because everybody else was going to.

If Johnson was so worried about walking down the street, he would have done so in downtown Dallas, but then again he had nothing to worry about.

Howlin....I have always thought that Johnson or Lady B was behind the assassinaton....

Breslin is a drunken, bitter ole sot. Here is more of his bigotry. I could give you quotes all night.

Jimmy Breslin on Strom Thurmond and California:

"His presence [in the senate] tells you that South Carolina voters don't care about the country. They are one of these low-IQ states that want to pull the whole country into ignorance."
