So this is a con game, and this is what they've been doing with you and me all of these years. First thing, Johnson got off the plane when he become president, he ask, "Where's Dickey?"
You know who Dickey is? Dickey is old southern cracker Richard Russell.
Lookie here! Yes, Lyndon B. Johnson's best friend is the one who is a head, who's heading the forces that are filibustering civil rights legislation. You tell me how in the hell is he going to be Johnson's best friend? [applause]
How can Johnson be his friend and your friend too? No, that man is too tricky. Especially if his friend is still ol' Dickey.
[laughter, applause]
