Another victory for diversity...

America’s First Ever Hindu Congresswoman Will Take the Oath of Office Over the Bhagavad Gita
Erin Gloria Ryan
Last night, Hawaii not only elected Japan-born Mazie Hirono to be the first ever Asian-American woman elected to the Senate, they also elected Democrat Tulsi Gabbard as the first ever practicing Hindu to the US House of Representatives. Hawaii has been declared a Fox News Disaster Zone.

Thirty-one-year-old Gabbard is the daughter of two conservative Hawaii politicians and first ran for office at age 21. After her first term, she voluntarily served on a 12-month tour of duty with Hawaii's National Guard, and then became the first woman in the history of the Accelerated Officer Candidate School at the Alabama Military Academy to be designated a "distinguished honor graduate."

When she's sworn in this January, she'll take her oath of office over a Bhagavad Gita, a sacred text for followers of Hinduism, or Sanatana Dharma.. According to HuffPo, Gabbard's favorite verses include,

— "That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul." (2:17)
— "The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can he be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind."(2.23)

Gabbard hopes that her faith will help her to assist the US in fostering a better relationship with India, where a large portion of the population is Hindu.

Other non-Christian adherent Congresspeople include Minnesota's Keith Ellison, who took his oath of office over the Qu'ran. But as far as I know, no elected officials have been sworn in with a special edition DVD version of Cecil B. Demille's The Ten Commandments, which is probably what I'd pick.

I'd do her.

BTW, Hirono is also the first Buddhist in the Senate.

What will be next, a Mormon President?

And, hell yes, Smackie, I'd do her too.

Duh.

But given my druthers, the first Congresswoman I'd do the dirty with would be Jamie Herrera Beutler.

Sure, I'd hit that, too. Those chiclets, though...is she related to John Elway? Or Mr. Ed?

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Fri Nov 09, 2012 5:08 pm

Had a hard time finding a hot pic.

But she's from Southwest Washington, therefore in my TV market*, and she's pretty hot... hardcore conservative. I think she's 34, or thereabouts.

* - Odd thing, the TV ads. I swear I saw way more from SW Washington than either Portland or Oregon candidates/issues. I suppose here, they didn't need to send as much, since an overwhelming majority here just go through the ballot and mark for the D. SW Washington has a much greater redneck contingent. Heck, Herrera hails from Camas (east of Vantucky), aka Camabama, where the hills have eyes.

Of course she's from Camas. Ever met a woman from there whose nose hasn't shifted left or right depending on her man's dominant hand?

I'd rather do the Giffords lady after she was shot and before she woke from her coma, for the record.

Hehehe.

An old buddy lives there. Bought a house in the woods, next to the entrance of the massive OHV area. Total badass. Ex-Marine infantry, black belt, semi-pro desert motorcycle racer (in younger days).

And his Irish wife clearly wears the pants... I think he fears her.

But then again, they're Camabama rarities -- they don't make or use meth.

Isn't Camas the location of the paper mills that make the whole area stink?

You mean the one that sends the kids at the elementary school down the road to the hospital when they purge the gasses?

That one?

In their defense, they've upgraded the catalyst/whatever shit on the stacks.

What the fuck barista? Looking for back up? See, I actually know who and what you are, having lived here for the last 10 years. You even interrupted a business meeting at a restaurant across from the courthouse to squeaked a lame ass question to the new owner. The wine, food, POS, and contractor looked over with a questioning look. When I saw you, I told them to ignore you because you were retarded and living in a 'special' home. We went back to our business and you slunk away.

Uhm, no. I meant the southwestern corner of Washington.

I notice people who live in DC don't even refer to DC as "Washington." Dumbfuck.

One is a state that's home to great beauty and several massive, productive businesses. The other is a drain on people who actually produce things.

If you think anyone in the west doesn't consider Washington to be a state, you truly are clueless. Matter of fact, here on the West Coast, I've never heard anyone use the term "Washington State" except on TV.

It's "Washington." No qualifier necessary.

And as to the thread title -- who knew TVO was a "thumper"?

Also -- RACK Kevnic for dissing the fool in real life. Takes a real class act to interrupt a business meeting.

Fixing a toilet is not a biz meeting and your buddy ran that place into the ground in record time even though it is a great location. Yea I really care what he thinks.

Did Kevnic and AP go to the same school of "smack"?

I swear you could put either one's name on the other's posts and you'd never know the difference.

Wouldn't be surprised if Kev wears panties too.
