POLITICAL THEATER AT IT'S WORST



I was horrified when Giffords was shot and I marvelled at modern medicine and her recovery. But the press coverage of her reappearance is disgusting. As if the "bi-partisan" cheers somehow made Congress human after months of bitterness. And since she returned to strip $ from veterans, students, environmental protection, etc--SHE MUST STILL HAVE A HOLE IN HER HEAD. So what's the excuse of the other bums who voted to screw us? (Let's not forget that Gabby as a gun rights activist in her state.) I wonder if they insisted that she keep her hair unbleached and short to add to the sympathy factor?

The above pic is from a headline which reads: EMOTIONAL RETURN UPSTAGES US VOTE. Only to a fool.
