Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) reached another milestone in her recovery from a gunshot wound to the head when doctors determined that her knowledge of the United States Constitution has exceeded that of her uninjured Republican colleague Eric Cantor (R-VA).

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz had dinner with Giffords and shared several stories of recent congressional events with the recovering congresswoman. 

One of the stories involved Cantor's "Government Shutdown Prevention Act."  The proposed act stated that, "if the Senate fails to pass a measure before April 6, 2011 providing for the appropriations of the departments and agencies of the Government for the remainder of fiscal year 2011, H.R. 1 (as passed by the House on February 19, 2011) becomes law.”

Upon hearing this, Giffords smiled and said, "Eric Cantor is dumber than a box of hammers."  This is believed to be the longest sentence that Ms. Giffords has spoken since she said, "I was watching Hannity.  Did George Bush really shoot bin Laden?"
