A Goldfeesh says:

Well actually, the "If you can't say anything nice..." is from Alice 
Roosevelt Longworth.  She was the oldest daughter of Theodore and a 
very entertaining, yet somewhat sad, person to read about.    In her 
later years in Washington she hosted some of the best social 
gatherings because she knew of everything going on and all the 
gossip.  She was considered a grand old lady of Washington, I do 
believe.  

A Goldfeesh (history geek, who also found it interesting that Alice 
was one person who admitted to deliberately destroying a 
Stradivarius, her husband's, because she knew how much it would hurt 
him-so perhaps she is appropriate to this topic after all :) )
