Hillary Clinton plans to attend the launching ceremony of a warship. And not just any warship, but the USS Gabrielle Giffords, named for the liberal congresswoman who was shot in the head. For Hillary, every decision is still about wimmen and grrrls. But her decision raises the larger question about whether it is appropriate to name a warship after Giffords.

Ro ro ??? Please educate me
Oh now, its the Russians! I peach Gaby!
Don’t forget that dreaded balloon launcher
Roll on roll off
“The USS Female Genital Mutilation just rolls off the tongue!”
That would make the USS Gabrielle Giffords a “Clittoral Combat Ship” @ussy class.
Naming aircraft carriers after Ford, Reagan, and H.W Bush ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY guaranteed that there will be CVNs named after Clinton and Obama.
