Souvenirs, anyone?

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.
Souvenirs, anyone?
Well, Harry, we can still smell you!
Harry Reid to Americans: You stink!
“Keep unwashed little people away from us while we decide what to take away from them — for the common good of course.
The peasants smell, apparently.
The BO, of, by and for the people.
He is an arrogant a$$.
What an @$$hole thing to say!This from the man who always looks like he is in need of a bath?
This is why, in the olden days, the Congress would never convene in the summertime months before air conditioning came to Washington. :)
With a 9 percent approval rating, Congress doesn’t have “tourists”, they have oversight from the public.
Yeah. And that’s when they actually WORKED and accomplished things.
Actually, it’s a good thing. Ever since the Capitol has been closed down to independent tours (unless you know people who work on the Hill *smiles*), the only way to get in is to show up and wait in line. And wait. And wait. In DC summer temperatures (95 degrees with 95% humidity).
The visitor center will at least let the tourists wait in air conditioned comfort, rather than in DC’s heatstroke-inducing summers.
How can you not like Harry? After all, he’s the only politician I know of who says federal income taxes are voluntary. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7mRSI8yWwg) Evidently, it’s okay now not to pay your federal income taxes, thanks to Harry.
That smell comes from Chuck Schumer who’s attached to your
behind!
This jack@ss doesn’t understand that these “tourist” are the people who pay his @#$%* salary. Besides doesn’t congress take all summer off? If not, they should. It would help the economy and maybe they’re approval rating.
“You know what I noticed about the proletariat? They’ve all got that same ‘funny’ smell.”
-Reid
He must be smelling Barney Frank’s panties draped over his head.
Not very politically correct of you Mr. Reid....tourists stink????
LOL
What an arrogant SOB! Why does Nevada keep electing him?
