Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"The Republicans have been known to win elections, and my friend Senator Dirksen has been working very hard to become Majority Leader of the United States Senate."

"But I have had a terrible time getting him cleared with the Civil Service Commission which insists that he stop making recordings to prevent conflict of interest."

"It was unthinkable that one could oppose but not betray."

"But only in America could a Senator be the guest of honor at a cloak-and-dagger dinner."
