Absolutely she deserves it. This is the same woman who told an elderly constituent who was pleading with her to not support the magazine limit legislation that he'd probably be dead anyway, and that he didn't need a high capacity magazine because the Denver PD response time is three minutes............when seconds count.baldeagle wrote:I think it's funny, but I wonder if it's appropriate for a Congressperson to make fun of a colleague.
