To steal or not to steal, that is the question...

It ain’t considered stealing s’long as you give credit to the guy what said it. Over the years, there’ve been a lot of people who said things I wished I’d said....one of ‘em was Art Buchwald who said a lot of things that I wouldn’t have minded saying first.....His comment on LBJ ‘n the Great Society seems as apt t’day as it was then......
In my ‘way back when time, Lyndon Johnson was President of the US ‘n Art Buchwald wrote:
“As soon as the President finished his State of the Union speech, I was ordered to get some public reaction. I immediately called my father in Forest Hills, NY and asked him what he thought of all the things the President wanted to do (The Great Society).”
“If he’s got the money,” my father said, “let him go ahead.”
“I don’t think he has the money, Pop.”
“I knew there was a catch to it.”
