"The other day, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords read the First Amendment on the floor of the House. This morning she was the victim of a horrific and senseless crime. Those who have blamed the crime on their political opponents' exercising their First Amendment rights ought to be ashamed." James Taranto

I don't think it's a trick when a blogger posts or tweets. And, Krugman has made 2 updates to his blog. Update: I see that Sarah Palin has called the shooting “tragic”. OK, a bit of history: right-wingers went wild over anyone who called 9/11 a tragedy, insisting that it wasn’t a tragedy, it was an atrocity. Update: I’m going to take down comments on this one; they would need a lot of moderating, because the crazies are coming out in force, and it’s all too likely to turn into a flame war. The page now says "Comments are not being accepted for this post". krugman.blogs.nytimes.com
