tucson: I wonder if Giffords were a Republican, if Boehner would attend. The man is so hyper-partisan and twisted that as House Speaker he can't attend a formal memorial because he wants to help raise money for a GOP candidate vying for the RNC position.|||He was worried he wouldn't be able to shed a tear for a democrat.|||I'm not really worried about this. I'm sure he is concerned for the family and the victims of this tragedy. It would be simply unbelievable to find that someone cares more about politics than this tragedy.
