How freaking cute is this? This picture of wounded Congressman Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly was taken today in Washington. Kelly had just received the Legion of Merit. Oh wait, let me say that the person who tweeted it? Joe Biden!

Herman Cain is a bald faced liar. You caught him twice.
Racists
Larry--Have you asked these same questions to our now president maybe we could have avoided a 4 year MISTAKE!! How dare you say that since someone didn't serve they can't be Commander in Chief. If a conservative would have asked the same questions to a liberal black politician it would be all over the MSM as a racist interview, and someone would be fired. How about asking him his policies or how he might lift us out of this bleak economy if her were president instead of playing gotcha!! You guys are pathetic and I cannot wait until we have a conservative in the white house and both congresses so we can right this ship! CAIN 2012!!!
Larry: You asked tonight what American governor in the past quit a governorship and then ran for president. The answer is simple: Sam Houston. He quit the Tennessee governorship and was then President of the Texas Republic (an American president!). Moreover, he then became governor of the State of Texas and then resigned from that post at the start of the Civil War. David Lowery
Lawrence: It was a fantastic takedown of Herman Cain tonight. BUT...
One of these days, one of you in the media needs to start asking him questions about foreign policy. I GUARANTEE you that you will easily make him look like the complete buffoon that he is. He knows NOTHING of foreign policy. He might not even be able to locate Canada on a map, let alone be able to name the leaders of some of the nations we have to deal with these days.

RACIST!! Did the Liberal media ask those questions of BHO?? Why is it you only question conservatives on experience, I seem to recall a 1 term Senator with no real word experience, or foreign policy experience having the red carpet laid out for him by the liberal MSM!!!
I just wonder why you all are talking about Herman Cain when the topic on here is about Kelly and Giffords. What a remarkable couple. With what she has gone through and to comeback as she has and Mr Kelly staying with through it all. This should be and inspiration to us all.
Indeed, Chris. Which is the cooler boast?
Hmm? Here's lookin' at you, Gifford-Kellys!
Looks a bit like there are a few incontinent bloggers and a very popular topic in another thread.
This has got to be the coolest picture I've ever seen.
Who's boasting?
Women, like men, do have a rough time in US politics! But Giffords, Clinton, Pelosi.. will not be remembered for anything else but the attacks they endured?
I hope not.
Today Warren had problems. Instead of just answering the question ,'how did you pay for college while the other guy stripped?' She answered that she left her clothes on so that makes her the better candidate. She forgot what makes her a great candidate is that she has a great mind for government.
Go gals!
So so glad Gabrielle survived her ordeal, otherwise we would miss that amazing smile of love. Great Tweet Joe!
Lawrence mentioned to Cain that the 999 plan will increase taxes for the lower income and Cain denied it by saying the present tax rate is 15.3 % and his plan will tax @9%, giving the low income a savings of 6 % which would be enough to compensate them for the 9 % Federal Sales Tax. Lawrence let him off the hook. Lawrence stated that the 9% tax replaces a 2%; to 4 % tax rate for the lower income.&; Lawrence was correct. Under the present system the tax is computed on your adjusted income tax after deductions. On Cains plan, the tax is based on the gross income..
The truth is a single person with gross income of 12,000.00 under the present system will have a tax liability of 250.00 dollars. Under Cains 999 plan, the tax liability will increase to 1080.00 since tax is imposed on the gross income..
Do a search for " 2011 Federal Income Tax Estimator ' and compute taxes on 8,000.00, 12,000, and 16,000. dollars. Then compute the same figures @ Cain's 9 % rate..
I guess EVERYONE will have to pay their fair share to get us out of the whole Obama put us in with all of this debt (more than 200 years of presidents in 3+ years)
Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly would make a wonderful Mr and Mrs Congress members. The epiomize what America and Americans are all about. The picture tells it all.

Larry: Don't you just hate it when a black man strays off the plantation! Your interview sounded more like a vicious interrogation and your venom was really spewing. Mr. Cain should be applauded for spending his early years earning an education instead of becoming dependent upon government programs. But you socialists prefer to keep African Americans uneducated and on the plantation. Is there anyone on MSNBC that is not a socialist....and racist.
Wow, i love their smiles, an amazing love you see between them, i think the kind of love and devotion for each other that everyone dreams of! I am just glad its between two people who so richly deserve it.
