I continue to feel such pride at the wonderful job my Senator is doing in focusing on the important issues that New Jerseyians care about:

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 i?t’s a big problem,”? said Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey, shaking his head gravely. “There is terrific crowding.”
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.
The crowding extends to the elevators, one of the few sanctuaries available to beleaguered lawmakers as they try to navigate between the Senate chamber, various hearing rooms and offices in the Capitol.
“?Sometimes you have to shove your way through, push people,” Mr. Lautenberg said.

I’m surprised he hasn’t sponsored a bill about it yet. I guess when he’s done with banning cigarettes from Capital Hill, he’ll turn his attention to elevators.
