Maybe he ought to lay off the baklava.

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.

I don't think we can blame this on Keith Ellsion in particular but I think it'd have been nice for Ellison's staffer to make a courtesy call to Tancredo's office is the smell was really that bad.
Comments or opinions - anyone?

That's why we call them "Islamozazis / Islamocommies."
Tom should fire up a skillet for bacon and eggs EVERY morning.
OOPS "Islamonazi"
Can a fatwa be far behind?
"What a prick."
.....and you're being polite, too!!!
:-)
Calling the cops as a first resort?
Ellison is certainly showing what he's made of.
I have a feeling that Ellison is going to be a real treat over the next couple of years. LOL
Soon we'll be hearing about him punching a Hill cop like the ditz from Georgia did.
Just out of curiosity, what's the law for the rest of the workers on Capitol Hill?
Maybe he ought to lay off the baklava.
The mind BOGGLES.
LOL, I just got to send Tom a box of cigars.
Good thing Tancredoi didn't light a menhorra...
Baklava. One more reason I believe there is a God..and he loves me!
I hope that Tancredo complains about Elison's body odor.
Not a freindly way to do things. Always swing by the office and ask nicely if he could smoke outside because the smell really bothers him. So easy and much nicer but he is a Dem and that sort of manly common courtesy is beneath them.
Tancredo should send him a baked ham.
And a pork chop for lunch.
