8. President Johnson’s Johnson
Another lesser known fact about President Johnson was that he was obsessed with his penis. Not as in he could not keep it in his pants – he could not, in more ways than one, but that is not the point. LBJ was always eager to let everybody know that he had a huge penis. A competitive womanizer, whenever people mentioned John F. Kennedy’s many affairs, LBJ would bang the table and brag that he had more women by accident than JFK ever had on purpose. Today, the sheer number of sexual assault allegations LBJ’s conduct invited would probably force a presidential resignation – at least if he was a Democrat president, or a TV one.
From early on, Johnson was notorious for creepy mannerisms that skeeved out people, especially in Capitol bathrooms. If a colleague entered while he was at the urinal, LBJ would often swing around, with his penis still in his hand, and whirl it around as he hooted: “Woo-eee! Have you ever seen something as big as this?!” Johnson would then begin to discuss pending legislation, even as he continued to brandish and shake his Johnson. The man simply had no humility when it came to his penis, which he called “Jumbo”.
