Not Even Civil Unions, Ctd

Governor Lingle twists the knife:

For those people who want to makes this into a civil rights issue, and of course those in favor of the bill, they see it as a civil rights issue. And I understand them drawing that conclusion. But people on the other side would point out, well, we don’t allow other people to marry even it’s not a civil right for them. First cousins couldn’t marry, or a brother and a sister and that sort of thing. 

Not so fast:

Later in the segment, “Joe from Silver Spring, Maryland” called in and pointed out that in Hawaii, first cousins actually can get married. Lingle said that she had no idea whether or not that was true in the state she governs.
