CONGRESSWOMAN SHOT FOR DOING HER JOB!

Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords (D-AZ) alive and in surgery for shots to her head by some mad man in Tuscon AZ; her astronaut husband is at the hospital, anxiously waiting to learn of her condition; Rep. Giffords' office had earlier been broken into and trashed because of her support of health care legislation; others protest she hasn't done enough about illegal aliens; if anyone thinks this isn't related to the rabid rhetoric of self styled T-party activists and Fox News wing nuts like Beck or Palin, raise your hand; someone tell me how she'd been better off is she'd had a gun in her hand bag!  ABC Report here.
