Pelosi is to a joke what Harry is to a punchline. both bad and offkey.
IMO, anyone with very good manners would not make a public comment on bodily odor.
Reid is crass and rude, and ill bred.
This is the type of person representing America these days.
Pathetic.
The U.S. Senate and Congressional Democratic leadership attends a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee/Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee election watch party in Washington November 4, 2008. From L-R are: DSCC Chairman Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), DCCC Chairman Christopher Van Hollen (D-MD), and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

The stench coming out of the Pelosi congress far surpasses anything the touists can come up with....
This is like Murtha calling Pennsylvanians racists and then saying he only meant red-necks.
Well, Harry, those eager citizens probably know more than you do about our country's history. Dumb turd.
Nice try, Dingy. You made it CLEAR in your statement that you WERE NOT kidding. Idiot.
Idiots in the MSM don’t get it. What stinks is the $621 million price tag 3 Times overrun of the original price, that the sweaty hard working taxpayers had to pay for the priveledge of allowing Harry Reid and his ilk not to smell them during thier visits...
next up lets repave America at a cost of a Trillion dollars, 2.5 million Jobs = lots of lazy do nothing road workers feigning employment. Ok so after material costs thats gonna be about 60k per year for 4 years to benefit so few and then after that What?
Harry, the spell is not the tourists; it is the smell of Washington itself caused mainly by twits like you!
Hey, Harry, the working class never did smell particularly nice. The only scents we can afford are things like “Evening in a Barnyard” and “Night Shift at the Sweatshop”.
Of course, to us, there’s a rotten smell of corruption and incompetence in D.C. that’s hard to tolerate.
Harry just showed his contempt for the huddled masses...
That’s an explanation?
Sounds like he’s saying, “You know what I mean.”
Yes, we do. He’s an elitist who disdains the commoners.
God, I hope the clown goes down HARD and I can’t wait to see it.
Scott Lucas.
Ernest McFarland.
Tom Daschle.
Dingy is an idiot, pure and simple. “Normal” people would not discuss body odor in public, unless as a joke. Public officials never should under any circumstances.
Can you spell COMMON SENSE? Dingy can’t.
"Harry, could you go out and buy some deodorant?"
Yup, Dingy Harry from Searchlight, NV is just longing to breathe free (from tourist sweat)
But he still thinks the tourists stink. Maybe it’s the roar of the grease paint, the smell of the crowds.
