Giving 'Em Hell
memo to: Any Democrat Who Will Listen
from: The Ghost of Harry S. Truman
re: Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?
I don't know why the hell I keep sending these memos -- none of you fellows (and women! I didn't forget!) who call yourselves Democrats nowadays ever read them. I can see you young folks sniggering -- you think I'm out-of-date, that I've nothing to say to the modern voter. Nowadays the only people who ever seem to have a good word for me are Republicans -- can you imagine that? Well, I have news for you Democrats with all your Third Way bilgewater: Loud Hawaiian shirts never went out of date! Aerobic walking never went out of date! I never went out of date! So listen.
There were nine of you up on that stage at the University of South Carolina, and five of you might make a plausible president. The trouble is, not one of you makes even a half-way plausible candidate for president.
You all remember my come-from-behind victory in 1948. But none of you seems to remember how I came from behind. I went into that election with every disadvantage you can imagine: a tense international situation, runaway inflation, a poor personal image, a three-way split in our party. (From 1880 until 1964, I was the only Democrat not to carry South Carolina.)
