This afternoon, state representative, Ako Abdul-Samad (D-Des Moines) received a "threatening letter" that contained a unknown white substance. Hazmat teams were called in to clear things out, just in case.
While this is a serious matter, the cynical side of me has reservations regarding the incident.
And the Kabuki Theater entertains us all:
The hazmat teams arrived in protective suits while the representatives and staff kept a watchful eye on the proceedings.
Across the aisle, a state senator thought the response was unimpressive.
And then Senator Gronstal, as always, displays the decorum and dignity that worthy of his position:
“Don’t let those bastards in here. They’re House members for Christ’s sake,” Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal joked at around 5:45 p.m. as senators waited at their desks for further instructions from emergency officials."Joke" is the word I use for Gronstal all the time.
