16. LBJ had a son-in-law who had to go to 'Nam, and a daughter who...

...asked him "Why, daddy?" with tears in her eyes. You know he loved his girls, and you know that tore at his heart. The effects of war were not an abstraction to LBJ.

Won't ever happen to W and his girls, will it?

Bush really, really makes other presidents look like jewels by comparison, as flawed as they might have been. Brains, hearts, souls -- all human elements that W appears to be lacking.
