President Johnson Orders Pants From Joe Haggar


— October 9, 2007

LBJ on phone

This is a tape recording and transcript of LBJ ordering clothing by phone from the Oval Office on August 9, 1964. I first heard this several years ago on NPR Nightline, and have never forgotten it — perhaps because the President discusses, among other things, the fit of the pants around his “nuts” and his “bunghole.” (He also belches loudly into the phone while doing so.) They don’t make ’em like they used to . . . .

I just found it again here from American Radio Works.
