First Lady

The Resume

    (December 22, 1912-July 11, 2007)
    Birth name was Claudia Alta Taylor
    Married Lyndon Baines Johnson (November 17, 1934)
    Wife of Vice President (1961-1963)
    First Lady of President Lyndon Baines Johnson (1963-1969)

Why she might be annoying:

    She got her nickname as an infant when a nurse incorrectly commented, 'She's as purity as a lady bird.'
    A lady bird is not actually a bird, but an irritating orange polka-dotted beetle.
    (Unless the nurse was talking about a female bird. Then she's just being sexist against male birds.)
    She owned many news outlets in Texas that she bought with her inheritance.
    Like Laura Bush, the causes she championed were bi-partisan and non-confrontational.
    Her husband had numerous affairs and an illegitimate child with another mistress.
    A lawsuit was filed against her by her husband's love child for a portion of the LBJ estate, which was dropped (1987).
    She eluded dead pool bets for many years, until 2007.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her money helped her husband's career.
    She was behind the Highway Beautification Bill that eliminated distracting roadside billboards and junkyards.
    She established the First Lady's Committee for a More Beautiful Capital.
    She is an advocate of the Head Start program.
    She said: 'The First Lady is an unpaid public servant elected by one person - her husband.'
