Time to bring back LBJ.
Enough of the spineless wonder Harry Reid. Bring back LBJ as majority leader! He'd have 60 votes in a heartbeat without even giving the repukes a reach-around!

1. Put LBJ's bones in Reid's chair and they would be more effective than Reid.

2. Yes!
Although he has been dead for 36 years, I still think his bones could do a better job.

3. LBJ hated two things: Republicans and Communists.
We should do the same (although Communists aren't bad anymore.)

5. There would be some Rethugs with loooong ears.
LBJ would pick them up by their ears like he did his beagles(poor dogs).

6. We needed Lyndon back when Bush was president
I used to have this mental image of LBJ entering the Oval Office and calmly grabbing Bush by the gonads.

"Do X," he'd say, "Or I'll take 'em off."

8. Yeah, but he'd turn around and get us into another war.
Remember, the LBJ of the Great Society in 1965 betrayed us and became the LBJ of "LBJ, LBJ, how many kids have you killed today."
