NBC anchor Brian Williams covered the Congressional angle on a personal level, sitting down in Tucson with Pia Carusone, Rep Gabrielle Giffords' chief of staff, to get an intimate description of her bedside vigil with her boss. Eager to land the tearjerking soundbite, Williams' fished for hyperbole: "Everyone is saying their money is on her…There were two fingers allegedly--was it a peace sign?...Have you any doubt that a year from now, two years from now, you will be in a meeting and you will say to your boss: 'Wasn't that something, your hospitalization!'?"
ABC anchor Diane Sawyer went digging, unsuccessfully, for that peace sign story with Giffords' physicians on Monday. Williams came up dry too. "We will have to ask her one day," was the non-committal answer. As for the doubt about that hypothetical meeting a year or two from now--yes, there is plenty of doubt: "It is hard," Carusone shrugged, "hard to say."
