I've also seen this quote attributed to Will Rogers, but it seems to be unconfirmed.
Wikipedia has a couple of citations giving it to Healey, although that is hardly definitive. The First Law of Holes has its own subsection on his Wikipedia page.
I don't know if Healey was the first to say it, but he definitely said it. I heard him (on the radio) at the time.
