Remember Scott Walker? Governor of Wisconsin, former presidential candidate, has a face like a platter of Thanksgiving turkey that’s been left sitting out on the dining room table for a little bit too long? He could use your help.

Even though Walker’s campaign for the presidency only lasted a grand total of 70 days, according to an email he sent to donors on Sunday, the brief endeavor has left him enormously in debt (he’s $1.2 million dollars short, to be exact). The time for soliciting has long since passed, but Walker has a plan to recapture the threadbare grasp he has on the public’s wallets: t-shirts.

From the Associated Press:

Walker’s email says anyone who donates $45 will receive a campaign T-shirt, but size and color requests won’t be honored because of a lack of resources.

Walker says the shirts can be framed or used for “crafty things” like a pillow or bag.

Despite common sense and all reason, I feel enormously compelled to give Scott Walker a hug and a sewing machine right now. Can’t you just picture him, knitting by the fire, boxes and boxes of unwanted henley tees bearing his own face strewn around him like the spoils of a forgotten empire? I can.
