Amazing how many similarities there are between Johnson and Clinton in terms of the way they conduct politics.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least to hear that LBJ whacked Kennedy.

Given the number of people who died around the Clinton's, it also would not surprise me to find out that both facts (LBJ whacking Kennedy and Clinton whacking a whole bunch of people) would be fairly well understood in WDC, but seldom talked about.

Clinton was an undergraduate at Georgetown in D.C. and at the same time was on Fulbright's staff, all during LBJ's presidency. That's when he learned the ropes of politics.

Interesting article in this morning's Washington Times, Witness to a murder, by Hugh Aynesworth, who is now the Washington Times's Dallas bureau chief, and in 1963 was a reporter for the Dallas Morning News, has the following two paragraphs:

The Metro section [of the Dallas Morning News] carried an interview with former Vice President Richard Nixon, in town under his lawyer's hat for meetings with Pepsi-Cola bottlers.

Nixon was scheduled to fly out of Love Field two hours before the man who barely edged him for the presidency in 1960 would land aboard Air Force One. At a Baker Hotel press conference, Nixon predicted his old rival might drop Vice President Lyndon Johnson from the ticket in his 1964 re-election campaign if the Texan proved to be a political liability.

Not only does this seem to settle the matter of Nixon's whereabouts at the time, it could also show that Nixon was reminding LBJ of why he ought to continue to go along with the conspiracy, if there was one.
