RE: Who Said This?
Certainly a good guess, but incorrect.
The correct answer is male and has been mentioned previously on this forum. |

RE: Who Said This?
Yes, Gene! Good job. The quote comes from John Hanks' remarks to William Herndon in June 1865.

RE: Who Said This?
No googling please.
Who said this about Abraham Lincoln? "This man's appearance, his pedigree, his low coarse jokes and anecdotes, his vulgar similes, and his frivolity, are a disgrace to the seat he holds." |

RE: Who Said This?
George McClellan ?
I wonder how Lincoln responded, which reminds me of a song by Sammy Davis Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaalq3RYAyw So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who Said This?
Stanton seems too obvious, but I will guess him.

RE: Who Said This?
Nope, it wasn't Stanton.
However, in this case, another obvious answer is the correct one. The person has been mentioned many, many, many times on this forum (especially under one topic). |
