Bummer! Boxer aide tries to bogart stash, gets collared by The Man
A senior aide for Sen. Barbara Boxturtle Boxer (D-Calif.)
whatever you do, don't call her "Ma'am"
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
That would explain a lot
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 bogart "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.
I've been to a Senate office in DC. The security is pretty strict. You'd have to be stoned to think you could slip drugs past the screening.
Police confiscated the stash substance, which later tested positive for primo bud marijuana, and Stanley quickly threw himself under a passing bus in a last noble sacrifice for the Progressive cause resigned.
Bummer.
"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."
"...and not very bright."
