"We have named ships for less, and we name ships after living people."

Are you saying that George H.W. Bush did not deserve having a ship named after him? Aside from being President, he was a WWII naval pilot. Shot down twice I believe. Perhaps that does not rise to the level of having a ship named after someone, but it's a lot farther up the ladder than Gabby Giffords having one named after her. If she hadn't gotten shot, would anyone outside of her district even know who she is?
