1939年多米尼加獨裁者特魯希略訪美，為什麼受美國總統羅斯福的熱情接見？
「也許他是個婊子養的，但是他是我們的婊子養的。」
這句話正是羅斯福的名言，也是美國政府對待殘民以逞，但是親美的外國領導人的一貫態度。只要聽話，就是美國的婊子養的龜兒子。
羅斯福說的這個人是尼加拉瓜的獨裁者 Anastasio "Tacho" Somoza García。
也有其他不同傳說，但是最被採信的是羅斯福的名言。
「But He』s Our Son of a Bitch」
by Kevin DrumMay 16, 2006
「BUT HE』S OUR SON OF A BITCH」….I』d never thought about this before, but inspired by an offhand comment here I went looking for the origin of the famous 「son of a bitch」 quote. Here are three contenders:
Reference.com: It was Roosevelt who made the often-quoted remark about the dictator of Nicaragua, Anastasio Somoza: 「Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he』s our son of a bitch.」
Dick Morris: FDR?s memorable characterization of Spain?s brutal dictator Francisco Franco: ?Sure he?s a son of a bitch, but he?s our son of a bitch.?
Michael Wood: Rafael Le?nidas Trujillo, long-term dictator of the Dominican Republic….The Americans supported him because, as Cordell Hull said, in a phrase since used countless times of other unappealing figures, 『he was a son of a bitch, but he was our son of a bitch.』
Bottom line: we don』t know who said it, who it was said of, or where it came from. Or whether anyone ever said it at all. Apparently the best we can do is this guy, who tracked it back to a 1966 biography of Trujillo written by Robert Crassweller. However, when he contacted the author, Crassweller told him that although the quote had 「acquired a great deal of generality,」 he didn』t have any way of tracking it down.
Yet another famous quote that seems to have appeared out of nowhere. How many more are there?
