Speaker Ryan on mission to clean house, from the ground up
WASHINGTON (AP) — When new Speaker Paul Ryan says he’s ready to clean house, he really means it.
And a good place to start is the speaker’s office, just vacated by cigarette-smoker John Boehner.
Just how bad is it?
Here’s how Ryan puts it: “You know when you ever go to a hotel room or get a rental car that has been smoked? That’s what this smells like.â€
So what’s he going to do? “That’s a really good question,†he tells NBC’s “Meet the Press.â€
The Wisconsin Republican, who is known for sleeping in his office at night when he’s in Washington, mentions “ozone machines†that apparently “can detoxify the environment.â€
But he says he’s going to have to work on the office carpeting.
