WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan can add one more burning issue to his agenda as the new speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives: how to get rid of the stench of cigarette smoke.

To complicate things, Ryan does not have a residence in Washington and sleeps in his office.

Those rectums can smoke indoors?

[abb]

Not to mention all the stains in the carpet from spilt whiskey.

[capydick]

Boehner openly flouting the law without fear of being prosecuted - is anyone surprised?

[JohnBrowdie]

Prosecuted,for smoking indoors? God, I hate it when we sound like whiney liberals.

[Drew68]

The best way to get rid of the stench of cigarette smoke is to let cats pee all over the carpet and furniture.

[Fungi]

Lyin’ Ryan is already missing a few cylinders. It will be a long journey to the next election with this clown as speaker.

[lee martell]

Poor Baby! Maybe Nancy can get a bright pink surgical mask for Ryan, to shield his delicate lungs and throat.
News Flash Paul, The world (meaning Washington D.C) does not exist to be at your beck and call. What you see or smell is what you get.

[Drew68]

Those rectums can smoke indoors?

"Rules are for thee, not for me."

Hell, at least Obama steps out to the White House patio to smoke.

I had hoped the cigarette story was an allegorical one. I am already disappointed.

[jospehm20]

There are lots of laws that don’t apply to these self serving a-holes. Our elected public servants exempt themselves from many disagreeable laws they write.

[P-Marlowe]

Isn’t there a big fine for smoking in a government office?

[dforest]

Why do we have to hear about this? Ryan is Speaker, perhaps he can solve this problem all by his lil ole self.

Geesh

Repaint the office. Replace carpeting and furniture. Replace drapes. Scrub floors and walls that can be scrubbed. Charge it all to Beohners retirement account.

[RinaseaofDs]

One set of laws for me, and one set of laws for thee. We’ll enforce the ones for thee. That’s all we have the money for, sorry.

When can we start shooting?

[capydick]

True but the sense of entitlement and arrogance kills me

[dfwgator]

You would think given the previous occupant, a full-scale fumigation would be in order.

[crosdaddy]

Soon, I hope

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Rip out the carpets and padding.

Wash the walls with vinegar.

Rent an ozone machine and run it in the space for a few days.

Repaint.

There you go Fearless Leader.

Then you can hide under your desk and whimper in terror that someone on the party circuit may say mean things to you during cocktail hour if you do your job and defend Baby Parts R Us.
