In Wolf Blitzer's CNN Situation Room today—where things are watched very closely—Jack Cafferty filed a report about Sarah Palin's odd post-Arizona shooting speech. What'd we learn? Cafferty hates Palin—he also thinks her shot at the Presidency is over.

Where was Speaker John Boehner last night? He wasn't at the president's memorial service in Tucson. And breathless reports are claiming he wanted to hobnob at an RNC cocktail party instead. That monster! But maybe there's more to it.

Yesterday, Sarah Palin released a curious video wherein she accused the lamestream media of "blood libel" against her regarding her possible role in provoking Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner. Here's a supercut of every breath Palin took during that speech!

The dumbest person on CNN (which is really saying something), Erick Erickson, is mad as hell at Media Matters, who he calls "atheists and twinkie eaters" and "the Westboro Baptist D.C. Branch," because they don't love Jesus Christ. Oh, Jesus.

"To be honest with you, [Arizona] can be pretty boring for a trauma surgeon sometimes."

Tonight, Jon Stewart continued to reflect on Saturday's deadly Arizona shooting by highlighting a couple of proposed (and reactionary) laws aimed at preventing it from happening again—though one is just "saying 'Fuck you!' to Sarah Palin." Watch inside.

On March 25th, 2010 Gabrielle Giffords went on msnbc and warned Sarah Palin that there would be consequences to her actions for depicting her district in crosshairs.

Obama gave a speech today at the memorial service for the victims of last week's Arizona shooting. The debate surrounding the shooting centers on the 'tone' of political discourse, but the tone of this event was pretty damn confusing.

After the horrific Tucson shootings last weekend, future U.S. president Sarah Palin retreated to her prayer cave and prayed for guidance. Today, she's announced her findings: The real tragedy here is "journalists and pundits" who "manufacture a blood libel."

The New York Times has spoken with a friend of alleged Gabrielle Giffords shooter Jared Loughner and discovered some warning signs others should have picked up on. Like: It turns out the suspected would-be assassin... kept a dream journal!

Arizona police have turned up more evidence against shooting suspect Jared Loughner, including notes that read "Die, Bitch," "I planned ahead," and "My assassination." Loughner's family also released a statement today, reading in part, "We don't understand why this happened."

New York Rep. Peter King is considering introducing the latest piece of hasty gun legislation after Saturday's shooting spree: Making it illegal to carry a gun within 1,000 feet of government officials. Everyone else can fend for themselves.

A CBS poll finds that 57% of Americans find no connection between "heated political rhetoric" and the Tucson massacre, compared to 32% who do. But this contradicts what frenzied tweeters were typing minutes after the shooting! How can this be?

Dr. Peter Rhee, the surgeon treating Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, says he's "100 percent" certain now that she'll survive and "very optimistic" that it won't be in any sort of vegetative state. Peter Rhee: Best surgeon ever, or just top ten?

On tonight's AC360, Anderson Cooper interviewed Bill Maher about Saturday's deadly Arizona shooting. After Cooper asked him if right-wing politicians/pundits can be blamed for it, Maher came out swinging—and even directly compared Glenn Beck to shooter Jared Loughner.

It's been two days since Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and more than a dozen others were shot in Arizona by Jared Lee Loughner. Here's a round-up of some of the news that's come out on the first workday since the incident.

In your wary Monday media column: Newsweek has a "sweeping redesign" coming, Ed Rendell vs. 60 Minutes, Piers Morgan will have at least one good week, post-"Giffords Dies" soul searching, and The Daily is nearly here.

The Saturday shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and several others is the kind of tragedy it takes time to process. But it's not an excuse to be a idiot. Not that it stopped certain members of Congress.

Jared Loughner, who allegedly shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head and killed six others in Arizona on Saturday, is obsessed with grammar. Why? Welcome to the weird world of ":David-Wynn: Miller" and the "Mathematical Interface for Language."
