America's collective sigh of disgust was interrupted during the House vote on the debt ceiling bill (it passed 269-161) last night when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords made her first appearance back in Congress since being shot through the head in January.
Too bad she couldn't have been more like Ronald Reagan. Got shot and still went back to work. Oh wait. Or Theodore Roosevelt: Got shot while campaigning and finished the fucking speech. He had an entire titanium body. They don't make politicians like that anymore. Now they just put in a titanium spine* and call it good. ______________________ * except Obama = mercury spine
I really like this lady. What strength and courage. As for the vote, I think it would have been cool if she voted "no", saying, "look...I've been shot in the fucking head and even I know this is a bad deal for the middle class".
It proves that surveryors' marks are harmless after all.
Ah, the soft bigots.
"Sorry, no money for full scale invasions"
That didn't stop Bush.
Mmmmm.
I've never watched House. Watching television usually doesn't make me feel good.
And said as she left, "I may be brain-damaged, but I'm not stupid."
Gummi? Teddy? Pedo?
Armed and often elected, yes.
Teabaggers will go to their graves rather than pay a tax that keeps them alive.
If only we could figure out how to put this into practice ...
Nobody wants to watch how sausage gets made. In their pants, I mean.
nobody would buy our fat stupid diabetes riddled kids.
More like, "ha ha, I only got shot. You guys had to listen to Louis Goehmert and Joe Walsh for the past six months."
I looooove Gabby relish on my sandwiches.

II have a question about the hobo beans and cardboard diet. Do you salt the cardboard? If so, how can you afford salt Rockefeller?
