re: Independent - just me
[ In Reply To ..]GEEZ! What a weenie! How about blaming the shooter instead! I guess in the political game, fingerpointing is a requirement... how sad.
Have you no compassion whatsoever? - SM
[ In Reply To ..]You call the husband of an attempted assassination victim who is clinging to life in an intensive care unit a "weenie" for stating his opinion? That is despicable!
Agreed. OP should not have said that. - But for Steny Hoyer to
[ In Reply To ..]take the man\'s anguish public in an effort to score political points when he knows full well the kid is deranged(and even gives the caveat that no one knows yet what motived him) is classles, tasteless, and I would expect better of someone of his stature.
Which just diminished in my books.
How do we know what her husband said? - Backwards Typist
[ In Reply To ..]It was stated by Hoyer, not her husband himself.
This is how trouble always starts...by saying "he said, she said." Let's wait and see if he makes a comment to the news. Otherwise, it's only a comment made by Hoyer.
Right. All I have heard regarding the husband is - he is grateful for prayers and good wishes.nm

Congresswoman Giffords - Jan 13, 2011
My husband and I are in the middle of a really interesting conversation after seeing the latest progress that Congresswoman Giffords is making.

Is there a way they can put that part of her skull back or will she have to have a titanium plate? Just curious ...
Newtown Pol To Gabby Giffords:Jan 08, 2013
Gabby Giffords went to Newtown to visit with families of shooting victims, originally a low-key event that did not involve the press. Despite advance reports of her visit, GOP CN State Representative Debra Lee Hovey went on a FB rant, decrying the "pure political motives" behind her CN trip and alleged lack of prior notice of the visit. After the ensuing uproar over her cringe-worthy statements, Hovey then had the gall to claim in a hasty apology that HER motives had nothing to do wi ...
