Reid: We won't smell the tourists anymore<br> <br> By Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin<br> <br> POSTED December 2, 2008 | 11:00 AM<br> <br> 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.<br> <br> "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."<br> <br> But it's no longer going to be true, noted Reid, thanks to the air conditioned, indoor space.<br> <br> And that's not all. "We have many bathrooms here, as you can see," Reid continued. "Souvenirs are available."<br> <br> $621 million well spent.<br> <br> These comments show his arragance and contempt for his constituents. He also speaks loudly of his elite perception that Government money is like monopoly money,as 621 million dollars is a lot of money to the 95% percent of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck! It really makes me (lets be polite) angry that OUR money is spent so his nose is no longer offended.
