1. Reminds me of an old LBJ story

Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 10:34 AM by quaoar

"I am the federal government," DeLay replied, in words that will follow the onetime exterminator from Sugar Land, Texas, like ants at a picnic.

According to the story, LBJ was going somewhere and needed to take a helicopter. As he arrived at the military base a young officer approached him and said, "Mr. President, your helicopter is over here."

LBJ looked out over the many helicopters on the airfield and replied, "Son, they're all my helicopters."
