POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

[Tug002]

Washington, D C 2120-September 1, 1945

To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz

From: H S Truman

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!



Now, with special thanks to the Truman Museum and Harry himself, you and I finally have a full understanding of what 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS' means.

This post is in the humor section, not the history section, so I see, perhaps rightly so. I did a brief fact checking online, seems HST did not say this. Any comments to the contrary are welcome. Sherlock Holmes would point out the phrase "Sick mainstream media" as being an anachronism, the media back then was mainly radio and newspapers.

The phrase, however, does fit Truman well, I'd say.

And whatever your views on good ol' Harry, he did end the war.
