Ahhhhh Harry Reid showing his love and compassion again. From the Drudge Report:

Reid: We won’t smell the tourists anymore

By Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin

POSTED December 2, 2008 | 11:00 AM

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.

I’ve got tickets to the Senate (and House), so, I plan on going some time during the summer (I love going to DC), making sure I walk really, really far in the heat of the summer, and really getting a good stink on before going to sit in the gallery
