These idiots are playing with fire (is that too incendiary!?!?) G_D Only tolerates this kind of hypocrisy for so long, these fools are in for a rude awaking someday very soon.

CNN host Piers Morgan spoke with Gabrielle Giffords‘s husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, on Wednesday and discussed Sarah Palin‘s controversial crosshair map, which targeted the Congresswoman’s district. Kelly wrote in a new book that the former Alaska governor never reached out to them. “We were never contacted by her,” Kelly said.
“I find that extraordinary,” Morgan exclaimed.
“Yeah, I was surprised too,” Kelly replied. “You know, certainly the targets that she put over Gabby’s and other people’s districts, in our opinion, was not the right thing to do. She is not the first person to do that. And it hasn’t always been Republicans that have done that.”
“Some interesting insights in the book into who, you know, walked to the plate and who didn’t, really, in terms of political colleagues and people that she had worked for and against. Sarah Palin doesn’t come out of this very well, I don’t think, because there was a woman who at the time had been putting these cross hair things on her website and stuff, including Gabby,” Morgan observed. “And in her haste to take responsibility didn’t even bother to pick the phone up, to write, do anything.”
“I liked your line about it, which is if you had had the chance to talk to her, and you were expecting to, you weren’t going to say that you were responsible,” Morgan pointed out. “But you were going to say, you’ve been irresponsible.”
“Yeah, that’s my plan. You know, this was no surprise to us. Gabby even spoke about it before January 8th, during the election cycle, leading up to the election, in an interview. I think it might have been on MSNBC or some other — another cable news network. She made is very clear that, hey, this is what’s going on, and this could ultimately incite people to do violent things. So it wasn’t a big surprise on January 8th that — you know, that we — you know, where we knew this map existed with the cross-hairs on it. Now, having said that, you know, Sarah Palin certainly is not responsible for what happened. But I think the angry rhetoric in an election year is not — it’s not helpful.”
What a jerk. He’s just using his disabled wife for publicity.
Look, the proof is in the pudding!!! O’Reilly’s book relative Abe Lincoln - #8 & 73 days in the top one hundred on Amazon.com!!! The Mike Kelly, Gabby Gifffords tome - #61 & 16 days in the top one hundred on Amazon.com!!! So much for “dirt bag” Mike Kelly!!! What a sad piece of humanity Mr. Kelly is. The good news is, no one gives a hoot about him or listens to a word he says!!! Just another low life Democrat in the Barack Hussein Obama mold!!!

Kelly sounds like a whiny teenager you’d tell to grow up but it’s way too late for him.
Close. My guess is, HE runs for the seat Ms Giffords now holds. Probably wins in Pima County.
He was an AINO (AstroNaut In Name Only.) He was a congressman who hitched a ride on a shuttle flight in return for NASA funding. Calling him an astronaut is like calling me a copilot for sitting in the right-hand seat of my BIL's Cessna.
Yep. He has until May to move to the district and file the paperwork.
Surely they are not that detached from reality?
Are they?
Maybe he’s planning to take Gabrielle’s seat when they finally agree she can’t continue as representative?
This loser owes Palin an apology.
They've been saying that since ten minutes after the shooting.
Didn’t Palin buy a place there?
How about we have a runoff.
See post #47.
“If anything, you owe her an apology for even insinuating”
VERY well said.
I think he should have contacted Palin and apologized for all the media lies and hate fest directed at her. That was the only person who deserved an apology.
Up until now I don’t think I’ve ever needed to write the word “unfreakinbelievable.”
Remember when Kelly tried to make us believe that he was all worried and angst-y when Gifford was recovering and he was due to take his Big Ride?
These flyboys would climb over their mothers and grandmothers in razor-studded cleats to get to fly. Why else would other narcissistic jerks pay twenty or thirty million to ride into space as tourists?
He was grabbing headlines, because the one thing a narcissistic jerk wants more than a big ride is everybody noticing his big ride. He used his wife's injury to get attention for himself.
Nothing he's done surprises me, and he's a *&^%ed liar!!
I think all liberals should apologize to America, for selfishly distracting attention from the lunatic who shot those people.
