We'll bring you the latest on the shooting of Arizona Congressman Gabrielle Giffords, including live reports from the field and a special roundtable. Plus, the entire exclusive interview with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on the challenges ahead in the new congress -- from the debates over health care, tax cuts and immigration, to a plan for economic recovery and job creation. He looks back at his tough re-election battle and predicts that the Tea Party that tried to defeat him will "disappear" when the economy improves.

1. Amanpour should not be providing Dick Armey a forum.

He should be shunned.

3. "Dances with Rove" David Gregory should hang his head

When a couple of weeks ago he treated Alan West as a normal incoming congressman and didn't confront him about having to drop Joyce Kaufman from being his chief of staff over her "bullets over ballots" rhetoric.

After hastily resigning the chief-of-staff post West offered, Kaufman was back on air today continuing her rant against the left-wing conspiracy she says felled her. She blamed the media for inciting the person who emailed a threat to Kaufman's office yesterday, which led to a lockdown of Broward County schools.
Specifically, Kaufman blamed MSNBC's Rachel Maddow for playing a video clip of Kaufman speaking at a July 3 rally. During that speech, Kaufman said:

"I am convinced the most important thing the Founding Fathers did to ensure me my First Amendment rights was they gave me a Second Amendment. And if ballots don't work, bullets will... You are responsible for being the militia that the Founding Fathers designed."
