Dear Senator McCain, we
know you're looking for a
symbol of racial tolerance
from the civil rights era to
illustrate your views on
unity. We've sent along
two photos. Feel free to
pick and use either one,
as both are white,
southern, Democratic,
politicians and are
therefore simply
interchangeable.
Dear Senator McCain,
we know you're looking
for an inspirational symbol
of African leadership to
illustrate your views on
leadership. We've sent
along two photographs.
Feel free to pick and
use either one,
as both are black rulers
who took control of their countries at a time of crisis and are therefore simply interchangeable.
Dear Senator McCain,
we know you're looking
for a symbol from the
civil war to illustrate
your views on military
judgement. We've sent
along two photographs.
Feel free to pick and use
either one, as both are
generals who lead their forces onto the field of battle and are therefore interchangeable.
Dear Senator McCain,
we know you're looking
for someone to embody
your view of judicial
temperament. We've
sent along two
candidates. Feel free
to pick and use either
one, as both are
African-American
Supreme Court Justices
and are therefore
interchangeable.
Dear Senator McCain,
we know you're looking
for someone to embody
your views on women,
specifically your stances
on health care and
reproductive choice.
We've sent along two
candidates. Feel free
to pick and use either
one, as both have two
X chromosomes as well
as, at one time or
another, a monthly flow,
and are therefore interchangeable.
