A House Democrat from Hawaii didn’t attend a hearing on veterans’ access to healthcare back in August because she was being profiled for an article and video profile about surfing by Yahoo News.
According to the Honolulu Civil Beat, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) originally told the paper that she missed the August 19 hearing because she was “delayed in another meeting.” But the paper later realized the hearing and her surfing interview were on the same day.
When asked again, her office acknowledged that Gabbard was hoping to attend both the surf profile and the hearing, but said the Yahoo crew was stuck in traffic, which led her to miss the VA hearing.
“Once Congresswoman Gabbard realized how late she would be, she decided not to go because she felt it would have been disruptive and disrespectful to just show up at the end,” her office told the Civil Beat.
Gabbard’s office said it is “reviewing our scheduling process” in light of the incident.

Yes. She’s super pretty so she’ll win. Oh, and she’s a Democrat
Lady, why not invite Obama to surf... I would have bring shark bait, so they will bite you two. :-)
For all those who think the US military will be on the “right side” in a TSHTF scenario.
This is an example of leftists in positions of power and authority within the US military and the influence they may have over those under their command.
Republican Djou (and D’me?) faces Takai (Rat) and currently polls 46% to Takai’s 42%. 10th Mountain vet, sounds like a stand up guy but there were a couple of questionable votes. They are vying for H-1.
For H-2, Gabbard (Rat) faces Crowley (R) and polls 70% to Crowley’s 17%. Perhaps that will change in the face of this but that is a helluva gap to close in a month.
Sounds like he wants Obama’s job.
I take it you don’t surf? :-)
I have not heard of this person, but nearly any person off the street in HI could hold the seat and would vote exactly as she does.
“She is smoking.... Combat vet, surfer.”
Kamonaywanalaya.....
Having done LOTS of work on Oahu I can tell you this is not a surprise one single bit. I supported several island manufacturing companies (believe it or not there is manufacturing). It is VERY difficult to get any reliable employees. When the surf is good or the fish are biting employees just don’t show up to work.
A Democrat in Hawaii? No biggie. Hawaii votes Democrat and goes back to sleep.
Cowabunga.
Obama and Gabbard, these Hawaii rats sure love to kick back.
