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.

No; it's just shirking work. Or rather, choosing one work commitment over another, since frankly, fundraising is part of a elected official's job for as long as we refuse to have publicly funded elections.
If American ISIS militants had bombed the place the official was hobnobbing, now THAT would have been ironic.
