There is a paradigm that says nothing happens by accident in Washington, D.C. If that's the case here, one has to wonder the political intent. It's quintessential moral relativism to say that a mass shooting is a 'tragic accident' but Pelosi went there. If it's an accident, then it's no one's fault. That would include Jared Loughner. If it's no one's fault, then everyone must share in the blame. If everyone must share in the blame, there are certain things that can be done to prevent such accidents in the future, right?
We have reached despicable lows when those who perpetrate acts of murder are no longer responsible.
Yes, Pelosi is delusional but this is likely the closest we'll get to her ever admitting that Jared Loughner was not a creature of the Tea Party or talk radio. On the contrary, if he was political at all, he was from the left.

Contrast those words with what she said in 2009 when she compared the Tea Party to the (left wing) violence that happened in San Francisco in the 1970's (Weather Underground / Jim Jones). She was obviously prepared to blame the Tea Party if something did happen. Loughner wasn't it, as much as she wanted him to be.
