Ruth Bader Ginsburg Gives Out "Notorious R.B.G." T Shirts like Candy
Being friends with Ruth Bader Ginsburg apparently means a lot of free T shirts—the Supreme Court justice of fun says she stockpiled those Notorious R.B.G. shirts and gives them out to people as gifts.
Ginsburg—who seems to delight in her meme status—was talking with NPR correspondant Nina Totenberg at the 92nd Street Y when the Notorious R.B.G tumblr came up. At one point, Ginsburg reminded Totenberg she'd gifted her a shirt from her private collection—twice. From TIME:
Ginsburg: I think a law clerk told me about this tumblr and also explained to me what Notorious RBG was a parody on. And now my grandchildren love it and I try to keep abreast of the latest that's on the tumblr. I have—and in fact I think I gave you a Notorious RBG—
Totenberg: Two of my three. I bought one.
Ginsburg: I have quite a large supply.
Totenberg: Do you have the one—what's the one 'you can't have truth without Ruth'"
Ginsburg: Without Ruth. [nods]
According to the Post, Ginsburg is also pleased with an upcoming opera based on her and Justice Antonin Scalia. She told Totenberg her favorite part is his "rage aria."
