Say you just finished your presidential bid—shuttered the doors, sent thousands of unpaid interns back to their parents’ basements—after losing the Republican nomination to a lump of uncooked Pillsbury Orange Sweet Roll dough with a set of directional fried onions strings affixed to its head. What do you do? Do you spend time rebuilding your image? Do you change parties altogether?

Well, Marco Rubio needs to find some cause to support during his last few months in office as Florida senator, and apparently it’s replacing a Civil WarnConfederate’s statue with one of Tim Tebow. A bizarre choice indeed.

A statue of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, a (surprise!) slave owner, is set to be taken down from the U.S. Capitol’s National Statuary Hall, and so Rubio is throwing out ideas for replacements. Rubio, a native Floridian and apparently a Gators fan, tweeted his proposal on Wednesday that Tebow take residency in statue-form in Washington. (Would it be doing The Tebow?)

You can understand his sympathies, at least, since Rubio and Tebow have something in common: they’ll likely both be free agents by the end of the year.
