Pelosi's Tough, Strong New Leadership: A New Smoking Ban

The treacherous whore:

Some fresh air blew into the Capitol yesterday, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi banned smoking from the most venerable nicotine haven on the hill -- the Speaker's Lobby outside the entrance to the House floor.

Pelosi, of smoke-free California, is known to detest the tobacco habit. Ever since her ascension as top Democrat with authority over the lobby and most other space in the House, smokers have been bracing for the moment when they'd be ordered to extinguish their butts.

This isn't big and important like Bush's speech last night, but these stories always make me madder than just about anything else out there. It's not enough that you can't smoke in 99% of Washington D.C.; there was still one spot left, and it just killed Nancy to know that.

Smoking is still permitted in lawmakers' offices, in two designated smoking rooms in the House office buildings and in a small, concrete room in the Capitol's basement.

A small, concrete room that probably looks a lot like the office they gave to Milton in Office Space. And we all know what he did.

I think I'm going to start mailing Nancy Pelosi the contents of my ashtrays.
