Douche of the Day - Hawaii State Representative Tom Brower

Congratulations to five-term Hawaii State Representative Tom Brower for winning my all-too-coveted Douche of the Day Award!

Before casting her "nay" vote, she admitted to being uncertain, because according to her, it was her duty to not only represent her constituents, but the whole state on the matter of gay marriage.

While she's at it, she may want to make the following votes: - Vote against equal pay for women - Vote to defund Planned Parenthood - Vote to take away women's voting rights There are many votes I don't understand. A Democratic lesbian woman voting against equal marriage rights for gays may very well be the vote I understand the least...
