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."
Yeah, that makes sense. I can totally see how Harry might have a problem with sweat.
But you know what? The powerful stench that comes from The Hill doesn't have anything to do with the American people who own it, now does it? Can we be honest about this, for once?
The stench on Capitol Hill comes from Harry and the Village
: The clinging odor of burnt and tortured bodies, that burnt smell coming from the ConstitutionMR SUBLIMINAL FISA FISA FISA, the silent but deadly whiff of two trillion dollars of taxpayer money gone, gone, gone, though we know not where, to Big Money.
The American people do smell, Harry. They smell how you stink.

Quick, somone get Harry a nosegay.
We wouldn't want his delicate sensibilities offended, now, would we?
Yeah, that can revive him...
... after he's done clutching his pearls.

Ahh, thats observing protocol
You are Never, Ever supposed to talk about your employers that way. Reid and his ilk should understand that those 'tourists' are their bosses. What an upside down world they live in.
Funny.
WheneverI go to DC, I have no desire to visit the hallowed halls of Congress. Can't stand the smell.
In fact, the whole Village
is quite polluted and stinky.

Isn't it telling how he caught himself because he knew what he was going to say was horrible, but against all kinds of flags of common sense, went on with it, anyway? Well, I'd like to thank, Harry. Now I know exactly where he stands.
It's really quite strange. This coming from a man who was born and raised in Searchlight, Nevada, a struggling, working-class hamlet (only 576 people in 2000, it's not even a village) outside of Vegas, full of the "unwashed" that resembles more a town of the territorial Wild West than a matured American hamlet. Looks like someone's lost their roots. I wonder how supportive the folks of good folks of Searchlight would feel hearing about this, Harry?
But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
