Will Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologize for complaining about B.O. from the tourists?
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."

Thank you Destry. Scary things on that website include:
Joe Biden has the highest priced available bobble-head Doll.
John McCain's is sold out.
Both of those scare me about the future of our country.
Then again, many things scare me about the future of our country.
