Boehner Never Visited Giffords

[WI_DEM]

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords's (D-AZ) husband scolded House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) "for failing to visit his wounded wife while she was recovering from injuries sustained in a shooting in his and Giffords' new book," according to The Hill.

Boehner was in Houston for a basketball game while Giffords was in rehabilitation in the same city.

Writes Mark Kelly: "Considering that she was a member of Congress and he was the highest-ranking member, we thought he'd ask to visit Gabby or at least give a call to see how she was doing. Our only contact with him had been a simple get-well card he'd sent a few days after Gabby was injured."

1. Surprise, surprise. If there had been TV cameras from all stations there, he would have

gone and cried for them.

2. Boehner also did not cry in his live interview about Gabrielle.

Even though he's famous for crocodile tears...
