DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES

33. Harry Truman

Episode Summary

World War II is ending, and the American Century is ready to go - but before we do, there's the matter of the last guy who brung us there: the plain-spoken piano player from the Show-Me State who worked up through a political machine and avoided the Klan to drop the bomb(s), pulled off one of the all-time upsets (or was it?!) and put us on the road in Southeast Asia. It's Harry S. Truman! (Now listen or he'll have Margaret sing to you - and do you really want THAT?!)
