Never knew that Lyndon was in the service. Thought he was born a politician ! ! Wikipedia says he was United States Representative from Texas from 1937–1949. Further reading in Wikipedia shows the similarities between him and Flem.
I get a kick out of the latest "Presidential" series. I work at HQ Dept. of Homeland Security (commute between DC and TV - but all that stops in April!) and some of the references to people and locations are a hoot. Whoever WEB Griffin uses as a researchist, they're doing a pretty good job.
