Rep. Ellison calls the cops to snuff Tancredo’s cigar
By Betsy Rothstein

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn. ) believes it is his right as a Muslim to be sworn into Congress with the Quran. But apparently, the freshman lawmaker doesn’t believe it’s Rep. Tom Tancredo’s (R-Colo. ) right to smoke a cigar in his congressional office.

They SMOKE cigars in Washington? Does Monica know about this? :$

Re: Perfect example of Democrats working with Republicans.

First question would be, is smoking prohibited in public buildings, or that public building in Washington DC?

Regardless I think this is pretty petty. I hate the stench of cigars, but at least the congressman had air purifiers in his office. Maybe they didn't work or work well enough, but that should have been the first avenue. Sounds like the demoncrat has a holier than thou complex. And as a freshman at that!

This is how it all went down. On Wednesday evening, around 6 p.m., Tancredo was preparing for his trip to Mississippi. And as he so often does, he was unwinding with a cigar.

Soon enough, however, a police officer walked in to check on the smoke. The officer told Tancredo that the officer came because he was required to do so and not because the officer wanted to. The officer had already told Ellison that Tancredo was permitted to smoke in his office. The visit was more a formality.

Tancredo said he would not stop smoking in his office. “Heck, no!” he said. “If he [Ellison] would have [had] the courtesy to say something I’m sure I would have been more accommodating to his wishes.”

Watch it Bro Haut! Fortunately we know how you feel 'bout those "Saracens" n' all, (can I say it anymore)? Crunch is right to inquire, 'cause I may also be too old to know what a "spliff" is, so what is it? Or is it to much for the padded sand box? Your slow plodin' (some think: "hateful") Seattle area Bro: JR8)8)

Re: Perfect example of Democrats working with Republicans.

You are correct on both counts....
You are old & it is a joint!....

My first thought when reading the topic was all the agreement and bi-partisan action regarding campaign finance, perks and gifts. 8)

The Democrats are really feeling empowered by capturing a majority for the first time in how many years? Ellison is really feeling his oats after being the first Congress critter to be sworn in on the Quran.

More power to all of them, let the American public see what a petty, ideologically bankrupt party the Democrats are.

I'd be needing more than a cigar.... restraints come to mind.
