John Boehner teared up as he read word for word a spea\ech about the shooting. He read so carefully that he used the wrong pronoun he for Gabrille 6 times. This happened only when her nickname Gabe was used, which points to the writer not being familiar with ms. Giffords. John must have been too busy to write it himself.

Gov Brewer similarly said "She is more than a colleage, Ms. 'Gilford' is my friend."
