Disney dissed LBJ

One of those funny, improbable stories that turns out to be true: Walt Disney discreetly wore a Goldwater lapel pin when accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, and it's believed he flashed it at the president during the ceremony. Link found at Mark Evanier's blog.
