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 for members of Congress: tourists won't offend them with their B.O. anymore.

"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.

Does this mean BO is not going to DC? Harry Reid is a fool and needs to resign from the Senate immediately. Is this the change people want?

We all simply need to make taking him out of the Senate job one in 2010.

All differences and petty disputes need to be put aside and we need to retire this guy like we did Daschle.

The change that is taking place is Socialism and the destruction of America as we knew it. Your children and grandchildren’s futures are dubious at best. Welcome to the end. Thank a Liberal!

Redi: “Keep the unwashed little people away from us while we decide what to take away from them — for the common good of course.”

Q: How can you tell which one is the Majority Leader of the US Senate?

A: He's the one who is NOT covered in sh!t.

with a 9% approval rating for congress, I don't think that is the public you are smelling Harry, it is your colleagues

I think Reid should allow his office restrooms to be used by the public, after all who could tell the difference between an open sewer and his open mouth?

“My staff tells me not to say this...”

So Democras sit around talking about how bad their employers smell . . the American people who voted for Obama deserve Democracy, and they deserve to get it good and hard. (Mencken)
