As usual, we see how differently almost all huge political figures are treated compared to the Kennedys. LBJ is probably the one President about whom it is impossible to find a positive anecdote. Everyone who knew him, who has chosen to comment, has mentioned his cruelty, his crudeness, his insensitivity towards others. He clearly was a rotten human being.
The fact that another well-known "leftist" like Rob Reiner has chosen to portray this horrific man in a favorable light illustrates again just how phony this "left" and "right" paradigm of ours is. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that Reiner thinks Oswald killed JFK and that he wasn't nearly as good a President as LBJ. How are the Kennedys portrayed in this film?
The old adage about putting lipstick on a pig should apply here.
