[edit] Abercrombie and fitch?

There is no citation proving that Neil Abercrombie is mistakenly thought to be related to the company so I will remove this probable joke. Musaabdulrashid 21:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

hehe funny...

[edit] NPR note

Just wanted to make sure folks at this page knew about this clarification [1] from NPR:

• Q: You stated in your Sept. 27 column that no Hawaii incumbent member of Congress has ever been defeated for re-election, including Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D). But I checked both Wikipedia and the Congressional Quarterly Web site, and both said that incumbent Abercrombie was defeated in 1986 by Republican Patricia Saiki. -- Will Ryan, Phoenix, Ariz.

• A: Nobody does a finer job with politics than the folks at CQ, and you should know better than to trust everything you see in Wikipedia, but I am correct here. Abercrombie competed in two contests on the same day in September of 1986: a special election to replace Rep. Cecil Heftel (D), who was required by state law to leave his House seat in order to run for governor, and the regular Democratic primary for Heftel's seat that would commence the following January. Abercrombie won the special election to become a member of Congress. But at the same time he lost the primary (to Mufi Hannemann) to fill the seat for the regular term. It was Hannemann, not Abercrombie, who lost to Saiki that November. Abercrombie's term in Congress lasted less than four months, from the September special to the new Congress being sworn in on 1/3/87. He later returned to the House in the 1990 election, when Saiki left to make an abortive bid for the Senate.

[edit] Vulgarity

My friend met with him along with all of the other Hawaii representatives on a senate funded Washington DC summer program with a few other kids from Hawaii. He said that Abercrombie was swearing and using language such as "bitches" and "we're gonna take these motherfuckers down in this upcoming vote (something like that)". This was along with other general expletives, to which the biased school chaperone seemed to be in a trance not to be bothered in the least (you know the type). It was hilarious when I heard it related by my friend, but it got me thinking.

I know this is very unfounded and I'm writing this more out of amusement but I'm curious, is there official record of this kind of behavior, and if so is it worth mentioning? I'm sure this is normal behavior for most people in private, but this didn't seem like that casual of a setting.--64.75.187.196 (talk) 09:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brother

It's been reported that Neil Abercrombie's brother, Hal Abercrombie, works in a flea market in Central Florida. Any proof for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.199.117 (talk) 20:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
