Of Thomas E. Dewey:

Dewey looks like the bridegroom on the wedding cake.


According to Roosevelt she didn't coin the phrase herself: 'The first time I heard it Mrs. [Grace Hodgson] Flandrau remarked 'Dewey looks like the bridegroom on the wedding cake.' I thought it frightfully funny and quoted it to everyone. Then it began attributed to me.' - As reported in: Safire's Political Dictionary (Oxford University Press, 2008)
