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.
Harry Reid = Hardy Err I
There’s a far worse stench originating in the halls of power. I smell corruption and treason.
Come on Nancy lets go to the mint and snort some cash always makes me feel better.
Maybe we should all mail him ripe gym socks.

It would appear Reid's staff is a lot brighter than he.
So I guess it’s no longer “the people’s house”?
How tone deaf can this leftist elitist be to publicly complain about how he hates the smell of Americans? You just know Harry has that “old man smell”.
Hey, Senator! Smell my “Harry Reid.”
Looks like “We the People” have been relegated to “we the Great Unwashed”...
And he says this on the day of the unveiling of the visitor’s center, which now truly separates the masses from the a$$es.
Stinky regular Americans sweating in the heat.
Thy odour offends, my good Sir.
Now if only they could get the “tourists” to STAND on the right and WALK on the left on the Metro, DC would be about 200% more liveable.
Politicians long ago stopped thinking of th epople as their bosses. To them, people are objects to be manipulated and used and when necessary, endured.
This country is SOOOOOO in need of a cleansing of government.
Talk about smells.
It is not the tourists who smell, but Harry Reid’s attitude.
This has to go on every billboard, every bumper sticker, every radio and TV ad run against this mafia-linked POS’ reelection.
Reid: We won’t smell the tourists anymore
