I've been listening to recordings of Lyndon Johnson's telephone conversations with Sargent Shriver concerning the War on Poverty.

There was never any doubt that it was a good thing. Not a contrarian thought expressed. Liberal optimism unbridled.

Sad. One of the biggest fu****s in American history, ever. Set the stage for our entitlement paradigm. A mistake made by the same guy who gave us Vietnam. And one of the most talented pols ever.
