Lyndon B. Johnson Quote

When a reporter who had previously heard Lyndon Johnson call Nixon "chicken shit" asked him about his embrace of Nixon at the airport:

Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.


Fawn Brodie Richard Nixon (1983)


Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.

Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.

Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.

Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.
