Lyndon Johnson

LBJ-as we all have heard-had reputation for colorful language. This example comes from The Washington Spectator and its editor Lou DuBose. We have heard the phrase about "keeping our enemies close" and LBJ said in that regard; "I'd rather have 'em inside the tent pissin' out than outside the tent pissin' in".
(Source: "Things Fall Apart" by Lou DuBose. The Washington Spectator 11/1/09).
