The new Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, dedicated last Friday in Washington, D.C., has come under fire for not depicting him in a wheelchair. What do you think?
“I don’t know if the wheelchair would increase the monument’s dignity, but it sure would increase its humor value. Cripples are hilarious!”
Andy Noonan • Graphic Designer
“Without FDR my feminine odor would be out of control.”
Lisa Proehl • Orthopedic Surgeon
“Why must the new statue hide the truth? Can’t it show FDR’s nurse helping him on with his underwear?”
Randy Innis • Botanist
“This is Washington, D.C. If they put wheels on that thing, they’d be gone in 60 seconds.”
Brenda Sorensen • Systems Analyst
“I’m still angry the Jefferson Memorial didn’t depict him banging his slaves.”
Dennis Farron • Police Officer
“Would the FDR in a wheelchair statue be able to talk like the Christopher Reeve statue I saw on
Reggie Yeager • Cab Driver
