I've always wondered how a smarmy little putz like Harry Reid ever made it to Congress. Rarely does a lucid thought escape his brain long enough to make it through his mouth for a decent soundbite. However, that does make for entertainment, even if it's at our own expense.
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."

I'll be sure to wear a lovely French perfume the next time I visit the capitol so as not to offend the finely tuned olafactory senses of Harry Reid.
