Sarah Palin's targeting finally pays off

Gifford after a year of recovery but still a long way to go had to give the win to Palin.  At last a democrat held seat won by a bullet.  The best part for the tea party is that the shooter egged on by whipping up paranoia to a Santorum froth is the shooter was a ding bat.  It doesn't get better than that.  Exactly the kind of outcome the Palinist and Rush's need, the crazies that do the deed can be discounted as not one of us.

A few days before the shooting I had lunch with a tea bag buddie of mine, who ranted they should march all senators and congressmen onto the capital steps, and shoot in the head any who will not adopt the tea bag story line.  So, a couple days after Gifford's shooting I called him and suggested he must be glad.  No I never said things like that.  Well I argued you did and over a burrito I bought for you, Oh yea but I didn't mean like that, not her, that was the wrong one.    Not her!  The wrong one!  We use to eat twice a week, after I called him out on this he has only called me for lunch 2 times in a year.  Oh, did I forget to say he is a regular at one of the local mega-church's with the political statement laden marquee.
