It was the response of Dorothy Parker when she was telt Calvin Coolidge was dead

Coolidge was a real do-nothing.


After the crash of 1929, the American money supply according to Galbraith sank by a third. (M3 according to modern criteria) and Coolidge did not think that it was the job of the federal govt to do anything about it.


Rosevelt and the new Deal not surprisingly trampled on him.

Hoover, not FDR, came after Coolidge.


Coolidge was known as Silent Cal - didn't talk much. Someone said to him 'I bet my wife I could get you to say at least three words.' Coolidge said 'You lose.' Anyway, that sort of reputation probably explains Parker's jibe.

-- answer removed --
her review of 'I am a Camera' (a 20s play) said 'Me no Leica'.
