@045781 What does that have to do with this video? LBJ's daughters didn't kill JFK.

@AnneLiesveld I think it was Georgetown.

@AnneLiesveld Lynda and Luci as grown women. I think it is interesting because I just recently read in Bill Clinton's memoirs that he went to Georgetown with one of Johnson's daughters. I can't recall which. The one that is closest to his age. It sounds obvious probably to anyone older than me, but to my younger (born in 1980) brain it makes LBJ seem really really old when he was in the white house compared to JFK ya know?

This is so funny because I think in my modern world (2011 having been born in 1980) I can imagine that I wouldn't be able to tell Rosalynn Carter from Betty Ford from Nancy Reagan from etc etc etc but to think that in 1985 that was the case seems kind of odd ya know? I thought that was their era because of the fact that all of those presidents occured in those sequencial years so it seems amazing that people wouldn't recognize them. It is interesting to see Susan and Lyndon Johnson's daughters

you are a jerk

That is correct Johnson daughters were kids when Johnson ordered the killing.

That is their legacy, it needs to be put out there for all to know.

"After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again—that's no threat—that's a promise."

That' what Johnson said one day before they slaughtered JFK.
