ReplyDeleteEx. Believing in all sincerity that he invented the phrase "the dumbing down of America"
You can cross-reference F.C. about the stupid TV husbands too.
My dad rarely directs conversation, so I have little to add. However, I believe in all sincerity that F.C. did invent the phrase "the dumbing down of America" but for some reason only used it conversation after it had been co-opted by the media and punditry. It's true, you can look it up.
