Waxman? More Like "Whack, Man"

Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) won’t stop until smoking is banned everywhere. He came close to passing legislation 12 years ago that would have banned smoking in most places in America, and has been fuming about it ever since. Now, he’s trying to keep members of Congress from even being able to light up victory cigars.

Noting that a smoking ban took effect in the District of Columbia in April, Waxman and 18 Democratic colleagues wrote Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) on Tuesday asking that he clear the air in the smoking havens of the House.

“Unless you act, the Capitol Complex will soon be one of the few places in the District of Columbia where the law does not protect employees and visitors for the harmful effects of secondhand smoke,” the lawmakers wrote. Congress is not subject to the D.C. law.The Democrats single out the Speaker’s Lobby off the House floor, a favorite hangout of Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other lawmakers who take breaks from the action on the floor to puff on a cigarette or cigar.

Waxman is like a dog with a bone. Only the bone is Castro's cock, and he can’t stop sucking it.
