More evidence that Liberal Dems are born corrupt:
Honorable Texans
We wrote this week about one brain trust of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, former Princeton professor Eric Goldman, who was dispatched upstairs by LBJ to ghostwrite school lessons of first daughters Lynda Bird and Luci Baines.
That's nothing, native Texans now write to Inside the Beltway, among them Ronald Best of Lakewood, Colo., who grew up in central Texas in the 1950s and graduated the University of Texas in 1963. One of his former girlfriends was an intern for LBJ.
"And he met most everyone in my family while out carousing and campaigning," says Mr. Best, who recalls one particularly intriguing LBJ story told by his great-uncle who attended college with Johnson.
"Much has been made of LBJ's poverty during the Depression," Mr. Best notes. "He worked his way through Southwest Texas State as a night janitor. What no biographer has reported is the extra money he picked up from fellow students.
"Lyndon had keys to the professors' offices and sold copies of tests to students the night before the test," he insists. "My uncle was superintendent of our school district in Caldwell County and an honorable man, so I am sure the story is true."

btw, Robert Caro, the authoritative biographer of LBJ, just released his latest installment, 12 years in the offing. It details a totally corrupt man's methodical rise to the leadership of an equally corrupt party.
