We just read that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) is in critical condition after being shot in the head at a constituents' meeting. As of this writing, she is in surgery in critical condition. Several others were also shot, and one of her aides was killed.
As yet, there is no word on the gunman's motives. If and when it comes out that her assailant is a "Tea Party Patriot," we eagerly await the GOP's attempts to spin.
Of course, at this writing, we don't KNOW that he's anything but a nutcase. We don't KNOW he's a Tea Party Patriot. But, in the words of Ernest Heminway, "Isn't it nice to think so."
