This is the same congresswoman whose office was vandalized after a health care vote last March.

This comes right on the heels of the assassination of progressive Pakistani governor Salman Taseer.

And then read a statement from the Associated Press quoting a hospital spokesman saying she was alive and in critical condition. The hospital is going to have a news conference in 45 minutes and then I guess will be the 'official' word.

I totally agree, the 24 hour news cycle is a little insane. Lets see how many times we can repeat the same thing while showing you the same 30 seconds of footage that we have. Hopefully you won't notice that we don't actually know anything...
