Life is for the living and the dead don’t get to choose their replacements. If she was so concerned about her replacement, she should have retired when the libs asked her to do so.
“...she should have retired when the libs asked her to do so.”
RBG was being interviewed and the interviewer asked why she didn’t retire so she could be replaced by Obama. She seemed to snort the answer which was something along the lines of, “And, who could take my place? Who could do what I do?”
In high school the band director was fond of saying, “Stick your finger in a bucket of water. Then pull it out. That is how irreplaceable you are.” Another thing he’d say was, “The cemetery is full of irreplaceable people.” Although I thought the director was a primo A-hole who clearly thought he was irreplaceable I feel he called that one perfectly.
Incidentally, RGB demonstrated, to me at least, that she was very far passed her best-by. But I was perfectly fine with her staying on until she accidently bumped into “The Unexpected Conservative.” (I am reminded of the joke where each day an old man stops by the front gate at the White House and says to the Marine that he wants to see President Obama. One day the guard says, “Every day I tell you that Obama is no longer the president, why do you keep coming by?” The old man says, “Because I love to hear you tell me that Obama is no longer the president.”)
That’s a GREAT point... she hung in wayyy past her shelf life.
