Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, center, who suffered a head wound in the Tuscon shooting, smiles after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at a memorial service marking the anniversary of the shooting, at the University of Arizona campus, Jan. 8. Bells tolled, girls in white dresses danced and clergymen offered up prayers in Tucson one year after a shooting spree that left six people dead and 13 others wounded, among them Giffords.
AP reports:
The crowd chanted: "Gabby, Gabby."
She limped to the podium, and husband Mark Kelly helped lift her left hand over her heart. After a year in which she has struggled to speak, Giffords recited the pledge with the audience, head held high and a smile on her face as she punched each word.

So what. Can she do her job?
Obviously not we have not had representation here in AZ for a year now and won't have any for the next year. It seems that they want to cannonize this woman. While I am glad to see that she has not only survived and thrived I do wish we had some representation in DC for the constituents.
It would only be a democratic party line vote anyways so no big deal.
