Early in Lyndon Johnson’s political career, Johnson was in a very close race, and was getting worried he might lose.
He told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponents life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows.
Christ, we cant get a way calling him a pig-****er, the campaign manager protested. Nobodys going to believe a thing like that.
I know, Johnson replied. But lets make the sonofabitch deny it.
Johnson was a filthy, no class animal. The worst POS to ever hold the office.
