”Lady Bird” Johnson (Lyndon B. Johnson), Part 1
This week, we're covering Lyndon B. Johnson's wife, "Lady Bird" Johnson, an incredibly intelligent and successful woman in her own right. Not only was she the *first* President's wife to earn well over $1,000,000 before becoming First Lady, she also prevented our nation's highways from growing littered with billboards & rubble, and inspired Lyndon's presidential career. Without her, he might never have run in the first place.
We split this into a two-parter to make 2 hours of history a bit less daunting :). Part 1 includes Lady Bird's early life, LBJ's (crazy) courtship, and the JFK assassination. Part 2 covers campaigning for elected office, the fight for civil rights, a gay White House scandal, how Lady Bird dealt with her husband's rampant fillandering, and more.
Featuring: proposing on the first date, "vice" presidents, a remarkable impression of Obama, Matt Rife, overly-hyped phalluses, and more.
