Under the Dome reports:

At a recent pro-choice women’s luncheon, newly elected U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan said that she recently learned that the Senate gym’s pool is “only for the men.”

But hold the placards:

Eva Malecki, communications officer for the Architect of the Capitol, said there are no rules prohibiting female senators from using any of the facilities in the Senate gym.

“The Senate gym is a co-ed facility for senators,” she told Dome. “There are no rules prohibiting women senators from using the pool.”

Now, a Dome update says Hagan was given bad information by a pool employee, but still, it’s refreshing to know that our new senator’s order of business includes a pointless fight for her swimming-pool rights. I’m sure that the pro-abortion crowd was dutifully wowed.
