OK, fine. The trouble started when the man took away meatball sub day in the Rayburn Deli.
Confronted by staffers, the restaurant regime tried a thin alibi — “we weren’t told that meatball subs should be on the menu” – but that only incited the mob. Bipartisan revolt came down quicker than a greased guillotine.
