U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s congressional office is closed this afternoon as police respond to a suspicious piece of mail.

An envelope arrived with swastikas drawn on the outside and a white powdery substance on the inside, said Adam Sarvana, Grijalva’s spokesman.

The office is on lockdown as police investigate. Those outside the office are not allowed in, and the workers and constituents inside are not allowed to leave until police clear the scene, Sarvana said.

Preliminary health checks show those in the office are OK, but further testing is needed because the substance has not been identified, Sarvana said.

1. Somebody was probably pissed that the Daily Star endorsed Grijalva today:

Rep. Raúl Grijalva has served Congressional District 7 ably and should be re-elected to Congress.

2. Yer probably right. After all, he fails the brown-o-meter test.

Can't have someone like THAT representing the lily-white state of ARIZONA.

3. They're pissed about his call for the boycott, too

The story notes the past death threats and the bullet fired through his office window this year.

And the smarmy teabagger leader slyly implies that this incident was staged by dems! :banghead:

It's that kind of year, Bright. As if it's a full moon every F'n day...
