I ran across an interesting statement in a TV listing magazine from 1954:
Quote:
|
If we ever get to believe that one political party is the party of depression or the other [the] party of treason it'll be time to look up a good psychiatrist. If politicians can't control their emotions, the burden is on us to keep our heads in the holocaust of political expediency. Good common sense can be the difference between civilization and the jungle.

Apparently those words had never been transcribed from print to the net, so I thought it only fitting to do by way of making my own first appearance here. In fact that quote was itself a transcription of words spoken on live TV. In 1954. "Holocaust" is a pretty strong term, but I'm sure the man who spoke those words would be shocked by the tangled wilderness of our current political climate.
I wonder if anybody can guess who said it?
