Barbara Boxer aide charged with possession of pot

A senior aide for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) was arrested Tuesday for attempting to bring marijuana into the Hart Senate Office Building, according to U.S. Capitol Police reports.
Marcus Stanley, who served as a senior economic adviser and at one time worked on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee — chaired by Boxer — was stopped by a police officer Tuesday morning when he allegedly tried to “remove and conceal” a leafy green substance from his pocket during a security screening at the Constitution Avenue door of the Hart building around noon, according to a Capitol Police report.
Police confiscated the substance, which later tested positive for marijuana, and Stanley quickly resigned.
“Marcus Stanley is no longer with this office,” Boxer spokesman Zachary Coile told POLITICO. “He submitted his resignation, and Sen. Boxer accepted it because his actions yesterday were wrong and unacceptable.”

Yeah, and her employee ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer either.
after the past 18 months, i’m just not suprised anymore
Great campaign advertising for Babs Boxer. ROFLMAO
In all seriousness, I bet half the Dem Congressional staffers smoke pot or do other drugs.
And in Boxer’s case, how else can you make sense of her positions or be able to work for her unless you are high or drunk?
That’ll make her numbers go up 5 points.
Thats Senator Boxer to all of us...
Your right...stupid is as stupid does.
My question is, how long has he been working for Boxer.
Someone on her staff had to know about this guy’s ‘medication of choice.’
Babs needed her doobie...her boy was just trying to get it to her.
This is probably Barney Frank’s source.
If I had to look at that mug everyday I’d be blowing through 20 joints a day.
In CA, can’t you just tell a doctor that you have some persistent pain somewhere and get a prescription to have it?
Ouchies!

Hmmmm....Now if I were Fiorina's campaign manager...
LOL...he’s a “senior economic advisor”. Well, that is very appropriate...you’d have to be stoned out of your mind to buy into Democrat economics.
I'd like to have the opportunity to call her 'Toots' just to see the reaction.
Just half?
Boxer looks like a stoner herself,this explains a lot need to drug test and HIV test the entire house.
