Fallows FAIL

The ordinarily excellent James Fallows, on NPR's All Things Considered yesterday, discussing the horrific shootings in Tucson:

Mr. FALLOWS: Yes. And she was one of the, you know, one of the people who had supported the Obama health care plan and the financial rescue plans and still won this very tough election and what is becoming increasingly - which has been a polarized state. And I think this has been testimony to, as other people have said, her essential centrism and popularity. And she is married to an active service member and an astronaut. And she has been very moderate on many issues. And so that she would perhaps, for a reason, be the target of this kind of political violence is all the more striking and tragic.
emphasis added

Excuse me? Giffords getting shot in the head is more tragic because she's married to an active service member and because she's very moderate on many issues? Does that mean that if she were a DFH then it wouldn't have been a big deal?

Revolting. So now the lives of the mythical "moderates" everyone in Washington loves to love are worth more than those of us crazy, shrill, libruls? I see. Good to know.

Gotta love that librul media.
