In an unprecedented breach of political decorum, Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono surprised everyone by asking North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum if he wants to have sex with her during his confirmation hearing, sources have confirmed.
The bizarre proposition was reportedly Hirono’s attempt to emphasize the personal nature of political decisions regarding sexual health and rights, though many argue she might have taken her point a bit too literally.
Eyewitnesses claim the room fell silent as Burgum processed the question, with aides on both sides unsure whether to reach for their notepads or earmuffs. Hirono defended her choice of words as a dramatic flourish meant to “shake up the stuffy atmosphere and drive home the significance of personal freedoms.”
Critics called it a wildly inappropriate mix-up of political debate and personal boundaries, while supporters applauded her for breaking the ice on typically taboo topics, albeit with a sledgehammer rather than a chisel.
As of press time, etiquette experts were scrambling to update their guides on political discourse, while a flustered Burgum was last seen speed-reading through a copy of “How to Politely Decline Unwanted Proposals: Senate Edition.”
My answer would be: nobody, not even me. It that desperate. That clown is one of the reasons the state of Hawaii is such a mess.
True, very true. I’m from Hawaii and embarrassed knowing Hirono represents the 50th. State. The Democratic Party is ensconced in HI, so an idiot like her will always be voted into office. I always say, I have a pet rock that’s more intelligent than her.
“So sorry, Marie, but with my heart condition, it’s a wash. Besides, I don’t think involuntary manslaughter would look good on a resumé.”
How this woman was elected to the senate is beyond me. Watching her at the confirmation hearings is painful.
Thats sexual harassment! If she were a man asking a woman all hell would break loose!
Hirono is an ignorant woman who thinks she is more important than she is. Her questions were pit of line and pathetic and just shows what a fool sge really is.
