Harry Reid, you really are an elitist son-of-a-bitch aren't you? You should've taken the advice of your staff and kept your pie-hole shut! Many of those "tourists" pay your damn salary!
Of course, the real silver lining is that the "tourists" don't have to smell this piece-of-drek politician either!
This from the DC Examiner, emphasis my own:
Reid: We won't smell the tourists anymore
By Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin
December 2, 2008
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.
