Hunter S. Thompson
“The shittrain began on November 22nd, 1963, in Dallas - when some twisted little geek blew the President's off... and then a year later, LBJ was re-elected as the "Peace Candidate."

Johnson did a lot of rotten things in those five bloody years, but when the history books are written he will emerge in his proper role as the man who caused an entire generation of Americans to lose all respect for the Presidency, the White House, the Army, and in fact the who structure of "government.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72

Robert A. Caro
“Ask not what you have done for Lyndon Johnson, but what you have done for him lately.”
Robert A. Caro, The Passage of Power
