Muslim Congressman Imposing No Smoking Restriction on Congressman Tancredo?

Interesting:

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

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.

Ellison’s office called the Capitol Hill Police on Tancredo last Wednesday night as Tancredo was in his office smoking a cigar. The lawmakers have neighboring offices on the first floor of the Longworth House Office Building.

Tancredo was still stunned a day later. “It’s very bizarre,” said Tancredo, who has never met Ellison. “Seemed to me not a good way to say hello.”

And let’s face it. Calling the cops on a colleague takes the cake for the nerviest behavior so far among members of this year’s freshman class of Congress.

...

Why the nerve of Congressman Tancredo! Doesn't he know that we must submit to whatever demands Muslims make, or else?

I've got an idea: Send gift certificates for cigars and Pork Barbecue to Congressman Tancredo at his Capitol office:
1130 Longworth HOB
Washington, DC 20515-0606
