June fifth, 1913
Our first meeting with President Wilson
Ladies, you have my utmost admiration
But as a man of my word
I must honor the promises of my campaign
(Currency revision and, uhm, tariff reforms, sir)
Oh, yes, tariff reform
Issues affecting all Americans
But Mr. President (here she goes)
Governments derive their just powers
From the consent of the governed
(Such a bright young girl)
So do you not understand your administration has no right
To legislate tariff or any other reform
Without the consent of women?
Forgive me, ladies
I'm afraid I have no opinion
On the merits of the subject
As it's entirely new to me
We'll be glad to educate you (sir), sir
This will receive my most careful consideration
April sixth, 1914
Another excuse from President Wilson
Forgive me, ladies
The economy
August eighth, 1914
Forgive me, ladies
Congress
May 12th, 1915
Forgive me, ladies
Lusitania
June first, 1916
Tariff reform
Hold on, sir
You said that exact same thing three years ago
My, how the time flies
You're right indeed
It is an election year again
I must turn my concern
To earning the votes of the country's people once more
But perhaps I'll put in a good word
For suffrage in my campaign speeches this summer
Excellent
We'd love to draft that language with you
My chief of staff will escort you to the door
And, Dudley, won't you give them a tour?
Now, take care, ladies
Our first meeting with President Wilson
Ladies, you have my utmost admiration
But as a man of my word
I must honor the promises of my campaign
(Currency revision and, uhm, tariff reforms, sir)
Oh, yes, tariff reform
Issues affecting all Americans
But Mr. President (here she goes)
Governments derive their just powers
From the consent of the governed
(Such a bright young girl)
So do you not understand your administration has no right
To legislate tariff or any other reform
Without the consent of women?
Forgive me, ladies
I'm afraid I have no opinion
On the merits of the subject
As it's entirely new to me
We'll be glad to educate you (sir), sir
This will receive my most careful consideration
April sixth, 1914
