One for the FBI

A friend said to me she wondered if there would have been as much hullabaloo over one of us ordinary citizens if we had been shot in the head and survived as Gabrielle Giffords has had. The answer is easy. Of course not. Most of us aren’t Federal officers, as she is. When any member of Congress is attacked (and many other Federal workers), the case becomes a Federal one. Ergo, the publicity. Perhaps local officials are grateful that now the investigation is out of their hands.
