[AGL] LBJ and Walter....

[Kathy]

Hmm, now a story I heard, from people now dead, is that LBJ had an  
illegitimate son, Rodney, by his secretary (?) and he sent him to  
live with a  rich gay pedophile friend? relative? living off  
Enfield.  I did know Rodney.  He was one of the early aids victims.  
And he did look a lot like LBJ, but he moved and talked a little  
swishy, or sort of valley girl.  Try and picture that. Anyway, what  
if LBJ  had a hunger for men as well as women and he and Walter   
actually had a "Brokeback Mountain" kind of relationship- that would  
explain why he had to cut Walter off so abruptly  and coldly when the  
scandal broke and also how he came to be so close to Rodneys's  
guardian or whatever he was. Well, it seems far fetched-what a can of  
worms if it were true- but the pre dawn hours are good for  wild  
tales of love, lust and betrayal.

no matter, I did greatly respect Lady Bird, and am so grateful for  
her development of town lake and her wild flowers. By promoting  
beauty and healthy environments and saving and propagating plants, in  
her own way she was giving peace a chance, and her beautiful legacy  
endures . I also am grateful to LBH for the good that he did Texas  
and the nation, despite the damn war. And compared to Bush and  
cronies he seems extremely wholesome, straight forward and honest.  
Like a Jimmy Stewart movie.

  Do you think Laura will try to replant any of the orchards and  
fields her husband and his cronies have blown up and poisoned?

here's an intriguing link about Walter Jenkins, bless his heart. If  
he had 6 children, he would be bi sexual not  homosexual right? Why  
did his daughter have a different last name, was that her married name?
