Abercrombie backs oil drilling: Media misses story

by Steven Lazzerini

A remarkable thing happened July 8 and apparently no one in Hawai`i noticed. The Honorable Neil Abercrombie, Congressman for Hawai`i’s 1st District here on O`ahu, appeared on Fox News’ Special Report with Brit Hume and did what no Democrat has dared to do for a very long time.
