My son and I had a brief discussion about Presidents "making bad choices" (parents of young children in these modern times will undoubtedly recognize this turn of phrase), and he asked if Presidents ever said bad things. This immediately brought to mind the colorful idiolect of Lyndon B. Johnson, fondly remembered for his use of coarse language and (as one site politely put it) "occasional moments of non-refinement." (You'll find several entertaining examples here.)
I do what I consider to be a reasonably good Lyndon Johnson impression (though there are discouragingly few opportunities to put such talent to use these days) and I hope in time to be able to share this gift with my son. For now, though, I avoided getting into too much detail.
