LBJ was both an FF and a HP.

I find the veneration of LBJ's personality by some liberals suspicious. It seems that beyond  the realities of LBJ's policies - a mixed bag at best - are glossed over in favour of admiration of 'the Johnson treatment'. How many times have I heard variations of the phrase 'If only Johnson was president now, we'd have universal healthcare (substitute for liberal dream policy of choice)? It seems to be affection of some liberals that positive change is driven by autocratic men swinging their dick around (metaphorically and literally). But this in practise is a dangerous state to be in. In practise it meant the Johnson administration was testosterone fuelled and arrogant. Consensus was thrown out of the window, and all for the petty pursuit of johnson's love of being glorified as a 'great president'. Although i will not declare LBJ was amoral or a monster - especially in contrast to his successor - his personality was of his time. But the Johnson treatment and all it entails - the backroom deals, the intimidation, the seedy clubs, the backscratching - is long dead, and rightly so.

Yeah, but I highly doubt, I dunno, Gerald Ford or Jimmy Carter regularly got their dicks out to intimidate staffers.
