Our Daily Dead

We suppose that having played Pomp and Circumstance for the Rev. Jerry why then shouldn’t we offer up the same for on-Decker Lady Bird Johnson?

And here is an interesting snippet from Marianne Means via the Seattle PI:

“I thought she was terrific, and always will. Just imagine abruptly coming onto the national stage sandwiched between Jackie Kennedy, the most elegant first lady of our time — 17 years younger and prettier, to boot — and an emotional, complicated president baffled by a strange foreign war not of his making that he could not control.”

Perhaps President Johnson’s bafflement with the Vietnam war was just too close to home for President Bush and his daddy. Thus instead of attending Lady Bird’s memorial, they chickened out and stayed home sending their wives where they themselves feared to tread.
