Senators Need Elevator Space
A humorous note from The New York Times:
In addition to lofty issues of war and peace, the Senate is grappling with another urgent matter: the senators-only elevators at the Capitol are being overrun by the unelected.
“I hesitate to say that it’s a big problem,†said Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey, shaking his head gravely. “There is terrific crowding.â€
Mr. Lautenberg, a Democrat who has served more than two decades in the Senate, said he had never seen the Capitol so packed with unelected interlopers.
This reminds me of when I was loitering in the Russell Senate Office Building while waiting for a friend and Sen. Carl Levin invited me on an elevator. I should have accepted his invitation, I suppose, if for no other reason than to say that I had ridden the elevator with Carl Levin… “So Carl, how about that crazy Bob Byrd?”
