Gerald Ford in The Yale Book of Quotations

[Mark A. Mandel]

Fred Shapiro <fred.shapiro at YALE.EDU> provided this quote:
>>
So dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.
     Lyndon B. Johnson, Quoted in Richard Reeves, A Ford, Not a Lincoln
(1975)
<<

Usually given by the prudish public media as "... walk and chew gum...", and
so commonly repeated that way. But Johnson was a Texan, pure and genuine as
Texas dirt, and didn't mince his words.
