Yes, It would.


3a (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity

One could aptly describe the shirking of responsibilities by an elected official to attend Armed Services Committee meetings in the wake of our Dear Emperor's impassioned plea to the world, and subsequent military commitment.... in favor of hob-nobbling and glad-handing - as incongruous.

The ruling on the field stands. It's pretty goddamned ironic.
