Gabrielle Giffords' emotional farewell to Congress

[motownmaniax]

I thought his emotion was genuine. It shows Boehner has a real heart.

she will improve dramatically in the months to come given her remarkable recovery so far; and, I don't doubt that she'll be back.

We've become such a cynical society that the mere act of showing your feelings is not only frowned upon, but eventually used to cast aspersions on one's overall character.

That said, Boehner is a pussy.

@diffdiff I tried not to laugh, but that was hillarious. Well played sir.

What a wonderful lady she is. Get well soon, Gabby. Here's hoping we see you back soon.

What a champ and model for the many facing hard times! God Bless!

For fuck's sake, Giffords is tougher than Beohner (I wonder, does he keep a box of Kleenex next to his gavel).

@robertghouston There isn't anything wrong with showing emotion, especially in a situation like this. I admire him for not acting like a man too insecure with himself to show that.

[john84753]

@robertghouston he tried his best not to cry. it was kind of sweet really.

[mad4you1000]

maybe she will become a senator next.

[Flynn01979]

Here's hoping that she really does come back to congress someday.
