Congressman Wants Ashtrays in Gym
By Jason Knapfel - DietsInReview.com
The public servants in Washington, D.C. enjoy some nice perks. One such benefit is the congressional gym, and it seems it's not to the liking of Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI).
McCotter says he can't stand it when there are no ashtrays available in the gym. The congressman told Fox News that he doesn't "go there very much because A, they don't have ashtrays… And B, the one time I was there, my first trip, someone sort of was talc-ing themselves, and offered their hand and I just said, 'Hey, we're cool, dude.'"
McCotter didn't reveal the name of the congressman… or why he's so uptight about talcum powder. Thankfully, the video tape of the interview revealed he'd said all of this in a deadpan, tongue-in-cheek tone.
Our public officials give us plenty of reasons to lose faith them, at least in this case the representative from Michigan isn't the clueless jerk one would think if you read the video transcript out of context.
