These tiresome LIB asshats are truly insane. All “Gabby” did was stop a bullet from a lefty moonbat. Now she (and her loser husband) use her damaged brain to promote gun-grabbing. They should be deported. They are wasting spavce.

Thanks, we were apparently hitting “post” at the same time.

I presume this award was ghost written by Pierre Salinger too?

It takes a lot of courage to deal with traumatic injury, and you have to give her great credit for that.

But it takes no courage at all to take the easy, popularly approved, know-nothing gun grabbing position. All you have to do is spout the usual liberal inanities, and you are beloved by all.

I believe that her husband is taking advantage of her notoriety to gain an extra 15 minutes for himself. Just as Mrs. Brady did and is still doing.

And then making a few Bucks on the side as idiots send their foundations money isn’t so bad either. All of those paid for trips and hotel rooms, food and beverages aint nothing to cry about. A medal here and there with dinner and glad handing the swells beats sitting home with a semi-veggie.

The point os Sorenson’s book was that sometimes a politician needs to go against the poplular passion of the moment. How much courage does it take to agree with 90% of the public?

Gabrielle may indeed be a brave woman...her exploitation by the left, however, is crass and perverted.

I assure you, she is a willing victim.
