We all know about the paranoia surrounding smoking these days, but here’s what happens in the august body that always reminds the rest of us that diplomacy and understanding is the best way to solve problems:
Rep. Tom Tancredo supported freshman Rep. Keith Ellison’s controversial swearing-in on the Quran, but when the Colorado Republican wanted to relax in his office with a cigar, the Muslim Democrat’s office called in the cops.
The calling of the police was reportedly approved of by Ellison, who, as you might recall, is the first Muslim elected to Congress. The rest of the the smoke-gate story is here.
Imagine what might happen if Tancredo ever decides to fry up some bacon in the office. Get out a tac vest, Tom, it’s gonna be a long term.
