Shorter David Gergen for those that (mercifully) missed it: "Tucson, you're grieving wrong."
:eyes:

i don't have the text of his actual comments but they were basically criticizing the audience's cheering during the event.

notably, they cheered most loudly for:

hearing that Gabby Giffords had just opened her eyes for the first time
Obama speaking about Christina Greene
Obama speaking about the heroes that helped disarm the gunman


DC Punditry is so worthless, I honestly would watch the news more but for those blathering experts on nothing going on and on about how I'm supposed to feel.

:thumbsdown:

2. That's why I switch it off IMMEDIATELY after the President finishes
or, over to C-SPAN while they linger on the crowd interaction a while.

But as soon as pundits start babbling or callers start in on the C-SPAN lines, I'm outtie.

3. And he keeps digging deeper and deeper...
sounding stupider and stupider by the minute.

He seriously needs to conjure up a new talking point cause this one ain't working.

5. David Gergen, as a Tucsonan, let me say, "you don't get it."
The funerals are later.

6. Gergen has never been in touch with real people. They are beneath him.
