A first glimpse of Rep. Giffords

Not since Brett Favre have we seen so much media attention paid to who is getting on or off a plane.

Today, however, the story is much more legitimate. It's the first time we've seen Rep. Gabrielle Giffords since she was shot in the head in Tucson. Up to now, we've had to rely on second-hand reports of how her recovery is going.

Rep. Giffords was boarding the plane for the flight to Florida to watch her husband take off in the final flight of the shuttle Endeavor.
