WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Capitol Police on Friday were investigating the latest in a series of suspicious fires occurring in Senate office buildings.

Police spokesman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said a small fire was discovered about 8:00 a.m. EDT in a 2nd floor woman's restroom of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. She said it was quickly extinguished and there were no evacuations or injuries.

Schneider said it was at least the 7th confirmed fire in the office buildings since late September. The fires are all suspicious in nature and Capitol Police are exploring the possibility that they are linked, she said.

Hillary having a hissy fit?

[Hoffer Rand]

Somebody really needs to invest in a shredder.

[PAR35]

It is my recollection that at least one of the previous fires was in a women’s restroom as well.

[windcliff]

Code Pink probably has a firebug in their midst.

[Gone_Postal]

Hillary getting really fired up over the last debate

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Byrd’s doin’ it. He just doesn’t remember doin’ it!

[Loud Mime]

Maybe the Senate’s famous Navy bean soup has something to do with this....

[Panzerlied]

Barbara “Babs” Boxer freebasing?

[ladyjane]

Non-smoking building?

People sneaking cigs in the bathroom?

Bathrooms are dangerous places these days.

[Glenmore]

I bet smoking is now banned from most, if not all, of the building. So just like back in high school, the smokers retreat to the bathrooms. And maybe drop their match or cigarette butt into the trash can?

[Cicero]

The LGMs are telling Kucinich to do it.

[Gone_Postal]

that would do it....LOL
Wouldn't want to be down wind of that

[Enchante]

I would focus investigative attention upon every scumbag from Code Pinko who has been in the building during these time periods.... motive, means, opportunity.

[mountainlyons]

Logic would suggest there might be a connection between the wacko californica contingent, wildfires, and women trash fires.

[Eastbound]

Quick cigarette break. Somebody walked in and the smoker tossed it in the trash can without stomping on it first.

Or:

Homo Perp sending smoke signals instead of tapping foot.

Or:

The office shredder was busy and everyone with incriminating memos, documents, etc., in their drawers took them to the women's restroom to incinerate them. Must be something to do with getting rid of contribution evidence with all the investigations going on all of a sudden. So they put them in their drawers first, then went to the bathroom. They learned that trick from Sandy Burglar.

So it appears there are no surveillance cameras in the Senate building? (And no, I did not mean IN the bathrooms).

[Vaquero]

Damn you Santa Anas!!!

[kublia khan]

Global warming without a doubt.
