Now there's a question: Why can no-one agree on how to spell Obama's first name?

What's the issue?
Here's a story I've told on Volconvo before. Can't vouch for its authenticity, but it rings true:

Back in the 40s when he was running for Congress, LBJ instructed his aides to put about the story that his opponent, a farmer, was in the habit of enjoying carnal knowledge with his sows in the privacy of his own barn.

"Are you kidding?!", they replied aghast. "We'll never be able to convince people he's a pig-f***er."

"Doan hafta," LBJ drawled. "Jes you make that sumbitch deny it."
