The story:

Navy names USS Gabrielle Giffords
By Daniel Strauss and Jeremy Herb - 02/10/12 02:41 PM ET
The secretary of the Navy announced on Friday that a new littoral combat ship will be named after former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

The announcement comes the same day that President Obama signed the last piece of legislation sponsored by Giffords, a bill aimed at reducing drug trafficking along the American borders with Canada and Mexico.

Giffords, who recently stepped down from office, was the target of a shooting rampage in early January 2011.

“The name this ship bears and the story represented by that name will inspire all those who come in contact with her,” said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus at a naming ceremony at the Pentagon Friday.

I’m sorry she got shot, happy she’s on the upswing. But what has she done...besides getting shot while serving as a representative?

America = Fantasy Nation

1. Well, they named a few carriers after failed Republican Presendents...

...the last 3, in fact.

2. They would prefer it be named after the shooter.

4. More comments

You can just feel their love for women...

Is the ship going to be PINK?

We all know that the Media and Lib's were hoping she would die, then they could go on their witch hunt, but since she survived they have to think of something else.

Does it have a hole in the bow?

You forgot the barf alert.

This woman does not deserve to be honored in this manner.

This is just disgusting.

uhhh.....they named a “littoral” combat ship after a woman? Mulva??

Are they sure this doesn't make the new vessel a clitoral combat ship?

Is it gonna have a hole in the bridge? Yes, I went there.

Proof you can shoot a Democrat in the head and not hit a brain.
