Do they usually do statues of celebrities there?

Seems like the kind of place you'd want statues commemorating notable political figures.

She also asked Biden to not consider her for the Presidential Medal of Freedom because she thought it would be wrong since she had to refuse to accept it from Donald Trump.

Well... we were going to put up a statue of notable southern politician _______, but turns out he was a slave owner. So we just went with Dolly.

It's a place for Tennesseans who have went above and beyond. She's done more for Tennessee than any politician has.

Created more jobs than any politician we have had, but here's a brief overview.

She's one of the few Christians I know that actually tries to emulate Christ's teachings.

It's a good idea to not put up a statue of her. In 50 years, if it comes out that she said or did something the people of that age don't like, they'll just tear it down anyway. >_>

She also knows that pigeon droppings would turn her statue into something pornographic. To quote her, although she may dress cheap, she's not a whore.

I think this only got immediately offered because of her rejection to Trump and because she is such a charitable person. Dont know exactly though.

With Trump you kind of have to question what his reasons were given that when he tried to pin Dolly Parton he was busy pardoning war criminals and murderers.

Part of the reason they were quick to offer is because Obama assumed she already had one because of everything she's done, and has publicly stated that he regrets not giving her one.

That's not Dolly's tone at all. She's incredibly humble. She grew up dirt poor in rural Tennessee and has spent her career giving back and trying to help that area, and the state grow economically.

She's done more for literacy in this state than anyone except actual teachers. Fuck she even donated like a million dollars to help the development of the Covid Vaccine.

The women is a saint.

She's not undeserving of it. You also left off the part where she implies it should happen after she dies, and if we still feel like she deserves it.

"...I hope, though, that somewhere down the road several years from now or perhaps after I'm gone if you still feel I deserve it, then I'm certain I will stand proud in our great State Capitol as a grateful Tennessean"

I think youre looking too much into it. Shes just too humble of a person to gloat about how much people love her, but at the same time she appreciates the love she gets.
