WH Crude Talk Not New, Noteworthy

On Saturday I wrote about recent U.S. presidents who either talked dirty or did the dirty while in the public eye. As an example, I mentioned Lyndon Johnson. Here is the documentation of that claim, from a book entitled The Kennedys: An American Drama by Peter Collier. See footnote 46 at the bottom of p. 25 of vol. 2, link here.

Bobby Baker later recalled that on return from an errand to the Oval Office he found several messages from Johnson, requesting a meeting. "As soon as he spotted me he leaned forward and whispered, 'Tell me, is ol' Jack gettin' much p*ssy?'"

Lyndon Johnson was Vice President at the time he uttered this query. As we now know, the correct answer to the question was "More than his share." Hat tip to Power Line for the link.
