Status Updates From The Path to Power (The Year...

Hamilton has ruined me because whenever I read a political biography, all I can imagine is how this would translate into a musical. Anyways: got the chapter to Lady Bird (what a queen) and currently reading through Sam Rayburn (just as much of a noble jerk as LBJ).

ok we r cooking now

Bull Johnson was a crazy guy

One day I shall learn the lesson that all politicians are anti-heroes in their own way. LBJ was ruthless, a bully, a narcissist, an egotist, master manipulator, corrupt (in his college days), a backstabber, used the spoils system, but above all he was successful and on the right side of history. Also loved his mom. And was a good teacher! And I'm getting this info before he turned 27 in the book.
