"In the summertime, because of the high humidity and how hot it gets here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. Well, that's no longer going to be necessary." -- Sen. Harry "The Nose" Reid, the embarrassing Senate majority leader, speaking at yesterday's opening of the Capitol Visitor Center. The Center had a price tag of $71 million in the 1990s and ended up costing the taxpayers almost half a billion dollars.
Yes, the odor of the peasants was unpleasant to the nostrils of the elites, so a visitor center was commissioned. It's funny they couldn't smell the money burning up in cost overruns.
