You Have to Be an Actual Moron or a Wannabe Dictator to Want Your Wife's Face on the $10
Politics
There is plenty to be disturbed about in the answers provided by the smoldering pieces of Brooks Brothers factory trash that gathered together last night to persuade us, unsuccessfully, that they could hypothetically be trusted with nuclear codes. For example, ladies and gentlemen, here’s what the future of the Republican party wants to put on the new, female-fronted $10 bill, which will be issued by 2020:
Rand Paul: Susan B. Anthony
Mike Huckabee: “MY WIFE”
Marco Rubio: Rosa Parks
Ted Cruz: Rosa Parks (with Hamilton on the $10 and Jackson on the $20 bill replaced instead)
Ben Carson: “MY MOM”
Donald Trump: “MY DAUGHTER—OR ROSA PARKS”
Jeb Bush: Margaret Thatcher
Scott Walker: Clara Barton
Carly Fiorina: N/A YOU IDIOTS
John Kasich: Mother Teresa
Chris Christie: Abigail Adams
Fiorina’s answer is the only one I can stomach. “I think it’s a gesture; I don’t think it changes our history,” she said. “We’ve got to recognize that women aren’t a special interest group.” And yeah—symbols matter, but “women’s issues” are actually a zero-sum game with the current GOP, and there’s not a woman in this country who’d be better off with noted English citizen Margaret Thatcher on their tenner than with, for example, guaranteed paid maternity leave.
