I said this a few days ago on a thread about this issue, I think it bears repeating. If everyone knew what a piece of crap the Independence is, they may pity the congresswoman. This class of ships is waaaay over budget and thus far, severely under-performing.
I’ll tell you what, Boxcar Willie has more of a claim to having a ship named after him than Gabby Giffords. He was a retired Air Force pilot who was a Korean War veteran. He at least has done enough (in my book) to have an overpass named after him.
