Loretta Sanchez tried to have Arizona Rep Gabrielle Giffords removed from the HOuse Armed Services Committee "until she recovers from injuries after being shot in the head."
And apparently there was all kinds of outrage about this.
Why?
The woman isn't being fired from her job. But she will be in months if not years of rehab and I doubt if she's going to be able to attend these committee meetings for a year, so why not remove her? There's nothing "not-compassionate" about this. No compassion would be to fire her and take away her health insurance because she can't work.
But to replace her on a committee "until she recovers from injuries received" - that only makes good sense.
Story #6: Loretta Sanchez Tries to Throw Giffords Off Committee
RUSH: My friends, these Democrat women... I don't want to get in their way. "Behind closed doors, California Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez has proposed removing Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords from the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) until she recovers from injuries sustained after being shot in the head on Jan. 8 in Tucson, The Daily Caller has learned. The proposal sparked an outrage, according to those in the room -- including from those in Sanchez's own party. 'It's not appropriate,' Texas Democratic Rep. Silvestre Reyes. ... Reyes and Rep. Adam Smith of California put up most of the fight against Sanchez, and helped squash the idea. 'From a woman who memorialized her cat, you’d think she’d show a little more compassion for a woman shot in the face,' said one GOP aide, referring to Sanchez’s 2010 Christmas card that paid tribute to her late cat, Gretzky." Man, oh, man, oh, man, Loretta Sanchez wants to kick Gabrielle Giffords off of her committee, party of compassion. Don't get in her way.
