"In his speech in Tucson Wednesday night, President Obama called on Americans to expand their “moral imaginations” and “remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together.” Well, never hurts to aim high. For now, at least, the president seems to have put an end to the endless blame game over whose political rhetoric apparently forced a violent lunatic to shoot a woman he’d been fixated on for years.
The speech also marked the beginning of the next stage in the news media narrative of the Tucson shootings, the one where we all look ahead and make informed projections or wild guesses about how the tragedy will change our politics, laws and culture. Gun control efforts are certainly going to get a boost, if not necessarily among members of Congress personally.
We can expect political campaigns to ratchet down the vitriol, either voluntarily or through force of law. Arizona’s public image in Blue America is, well, going to remain about the same. Ditto for Sarah Palin. Colleges are going to face even more scrutiny over how they deal with disturbed students. Psychiatrists and lawyers well-versed in the insanity defense will be cashing lots of checks from the cable news channels.
And, above all, this isn’t the last we’ve heard of Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik of Pima County, Arizona. "
