Sure, LBJ's 1948 election to the Senate is still dogged by accusations of fraud, he was known to strongarm votes as Senate leader, and he plunged the U.S. into Vietnam. But he moved civil rights legislation forward, increased funding for education and launched the war on poverty.What's Shrub's balance sheet? He's trambpled on the constitution, eroded civil liberties, squandered U.S. goodwill abroad and spent the country's treasure in a quagmire that makes Vietnam look like a tea party. On the plus side, he's ignored global warming, botched the response to hurricane Katrina, dismissed U.S. attorneys for political reasons, and retarded stem cell research.So how come no one's been getting traction with anti-W songs, as Country Joe did with this scathing rebuke of LBJ?
