Why is Luke Russert talking about a Remembrance for

[malaise]

Congresswoman Giffords?

[Jackpine Radical]

1. Wishful thinking?

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Flags are flying half-staff on Capitol Hill, per MSNBC...

Why???

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. The flags are for her aide who was killed.

[cbdo2007]

19. More likely for the Federal judge.

[malaise]

5. I wondered about that but remember

that a Federal judge was assassinated,as well as Congresswoman Gifford's staff.

[pepperbear]

6. 6 people did die, one of whom was a federal judge. I think it's for them.

[Motown_Johnny]

4. Either he knows something we don't, or he doesn't know what the rest of us do

[malaise]

Nearly everyone who has spoken about the shooting

has used 'was' and then corrected him/herself...including the President.

Latest update -two hour surgery Saturday and has not been conscious since.

[spanone]

7. luke just reminded us that boehner was the first to have a response to the shooting

[Horse with no Name]

9. Well when he was the first one the MEDIA called

how else is that going to play?

[bushisanidiot]

10. Yes, he did go out of his way to praise boner.

his right wing colors are showing. i predict he'll be working at fox within 2 years.

[malaise]

13. No he isn't going anywhere

Little Lord Fauntleroy received that cushy job just for being the son of Tim Russert - no interview, no competition. Life is too good for him at GEM$NBC.

[nc4bo]

11. And emphasized that the shooter was mentally ill...

and completely ignoring the role M$M and the RW may have played in it.

[WinkyDink]

15. About that: Was medication found? Have doctors testifed? Is this merely a generic reaction?

[bushisanidiot]

8. that interview looked exactly like his interview yesterday

i wonder if they replayed it? originally she was assumed dead because she was shot in the head and russert may not have gotten the update when he originally gave the interview yesterday

[malaise]

16. You may be right

Thanks

[Bluenorthwest]

12. Why? Because nepotism rocks the house!

[FSogol]

18. +1. Are they still hoping he grows into the job? He doesn't have the brains/

:shrug:

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Sperm Lottery Winners have no need to make actual sense. Or show sensitivity.

[malaise]

20. Don't mess with Little Lord Fauntleroy

:rofl:

[goddess40]

17. Why is Luke talking about anything?

What are his credentials? Other than being daddy's son.

[AngryOldDem]

21. Almost everyone is using past tense when talking about her.

It really bugs me.
