Just stumbled across this story on DRUDGE:

Reid: We won’t smell the tourists anymore

The Capitol Visitors Center, which opened this morning, may have tripled its original budget and fallen years behind schedule, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found a silver lining:

“My staff tells me not to say this, but I’m going to say it anyway,” said Reid in his remarks. “In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it’s true.”

But it’s no longer going to be true, noted Reid, thanks to the air conditioned, indoor space.

And that’s not all. “We have many bathrooms here, as you can see,” Reid continued. “Souvenirs are available.”

$621 million well spent.

Whatever, guy.  Just whatever.  Sorry your constituency offends your refined sense of smell.  They can’t help it - they’re just the people that elected you to your cushy office AND pay your excessive, unnecessary (after Red Chinese lobbyists buy everything for you anyway) salary.  And can you guess how most of these “tourists” pay that salary through their taxes and still find some leftover to come and stink up your sanitary office?  They sweat, you pale, dumb jerque. (pardon my French)  They sweat at their real jobs.

I’m pretty hot about this - can you tell?  I never liked Harry “we lost the war” Reid before, but this is just the last straw.  He and Nancy Pelosi are the ones that offend my nose, and they manage to do it from hundreds of miles away.
