You reek: Letter from a D.C. tourist to Harry Reid
Reader Dave forwarded me the e-mail he just sent to Harry Reid:
I recently read this quote of your… “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.”
As a visitor to the Senate and a history buff I am insulted by your remarks. They clearly show you are not worthy of your position and should resign. The Senate under your leadership has been a farce and when I am lucky enough to take my children on a tour someday I will tell them the story of the ignorant Dem leader who thinks that American taxpayers touring the Capital should be walled off from Senators because in the Washington heat and humidity they smell.
So much for Government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Maybe if you were capable of doing any real work you might smell a little and it would be good for you.
You, sir, are the one who stinks.
Dave Fredrick

Where’s his office? I’ll just go visit Washington, eat a bunch of baked-beans with onions and jalepeno peppers, and REALLY let him smell a tourist!
Right said Dave!
Senator Reid’s staff was right. Summers in Washington can be oppressive, but nothing is gained by complaining about how tourists coming to see where you work smell.
Dumb statement, but should get only a rolling of the eyes.
I am thinking about organizing a tour group of Boston Bake Bean lovers, and give him a smell that Pepe Le Peu would be envious of!
GSP
“This is Sparta!”
Harry Reid is a buffon. (Sorry other buffoons)
Harry “tommy boy” Reids stinch covers the entire USA and it doesn’t have to be hot and humid outside, it’s a 24/7 smell from H.E. double hockey sicks.
I’m with Tre.
A whole bunch of us should all go down there sweating after a hard day’s work, having eaten all manner of gaseous foods, and just show that @$$wipe just who smells.
So much for looking out for “working people”, eh Mr. Reid?
Two words for Mr. Reid. The first has four letters and starts with F, the second has three and starts with Y.

Harry Reid is an embarrassment to the state I love so much.
I said over 2 years ago that the groundswell of disgust with Harry Reid was soon to overtake this lightweight.
It is my opinion that his weakness will cause even the democrat leftists to run against this toad.
His story of how he got into politics in the first place is the picture of political toadyism. He was handpicked by Mike O’Callahan not for his genius, but for his missing male apparatus and and pre-fitted wind up dial where a spine is in most humans.
Good Riddance
I am very upset by Dave’s letter. I actually was pleased to see that there was a possibilty that perhaps one of the Majority Leader’s senses was functional to some degree.
I think it is a positive sign that Senator Reid, might, and I must emphasize might, just have some semblance of a sense of smell.
The fact he is otherwise deaf, dumb, and blind is a given. I am sure there is a minimal EEG as well. So we should rejoice at the reemergence (to some degree) of one of his senses.
Flight 93 Where Are You … ???
I see that we need to make a little visit to Harry Reid’s office. Collie, why don’t you go out in the back yard and roll around in some of your own dung? I’ll pretend that I’m blind and that you’re my seeing eye dog, okay?
My collie says:
I am so heartbroken that the Exalted Lord Harry Reid must suffer the stench of us wretched “commoner peons”….F*n moron!
kwyoung, I agree. The libs, and especially Harry Reid, are indeed vipers. He and his ilk will strike our heal but we will crush his head.
Funny how Reid can smell anything…after the amount of Crap that is spewed out all day in the chambers.
Poor ‘arry, forced to perform his nation-saving work under those circumstances. Fortunately, now that the new visitor’s center and it’s many splendiforous facilities, the only time he’ll have to endure the bodily emanations of the publicus is during his six-year shakedown for campaign contributions,
assHAND-kissing and baby-shaking.You just reminded me of the time my lab rolled around in another dog’s poo. Our neighbor has an invisible fence but there is a break in the line and the dog knows just where it is… he comes over to our property and does his business. At any rate, one day my dog was lucky enough to find one of his piles and came running over to me just as thrilled to show off his new smell. It was everywhere… I couldn’t grab the hose fast enough.
citizen A: He must be a Senator (pointing to Reid)
citizen B: How do you know that he’s a Senator?
citizen A: He hasn’t got sh*t all over him.
Correction to my previous comment: “with the new visitor’s center”.
Hey, Harry, you know what they say: He who smelt it, dealt it.
This is why he’s a senator. He’s so superior to the rest of us.
He may be stupid, but he isn’t dumb. Unfortunately.
Some politicians shoot themselves in the foot. Reid pointed the gun a little higher.
My beagle likes smells. She hates liberals, especially the one that broke into my house.
Good thing I believe in beagles and the second amendment.
Sometimes your enemies are a blessing. In this case, Reid as a political enemy of conservatives is definitely a blessing.
I feel like I’ve just woken up from years of slumber to find this world we currently live in…like Woody Allen in ‘Sleeper’.
Unfortunately for me, I can’t find a power source for my Orgasmatron.
Senator Reid,
That would be your top lip, Sir.
Sincerely,
CCS
Harry, if you don’t like stink, clean up your act!
Elected officials today (ALL of them) don’t live in our world and don’t want to. They believe themselves the royalty of America and little admissions such as this by Reid indicate their true feelings for Americans. A liberal told me she could “relate” to Kerry!! Ha! Ha! I LMAO. These people realy believe they are above us all. DO NOT VOTE FOR INCUMBENTS.
Taxpayer: Will you respect me in the morning?
Dingy Harry: I don’t respect you now.
I think all the Senatorial bastards should have to wear Togas and sandals. If they are going to act Patrician, they should dress the part.
Aide: “Senator Reed! The taxpayers are revolting!”
Reed: “You said it boy, they stink on ice”
(with apologies to Mel Brooks)
“Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what’s going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?”

Put some wireless glasses on Dobby from Harry Potter and you would think he was typecast from Harry Reid.
And I thought Daschle was bad as Majority Leader!
Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, Frank, Dodd, Boxer, Waxman, Kerry, Kennedy, Leahy – all reasons for term limits.
It is amazing to me that Sen. Reid or anyone else can smell anything over the fetid stench emanating from Congress.
Having worked on the Hill (congressional side) and smelled a fair number of congressmen in the morning, I’m surprised that the tourist smell overcomes the scent of stale alcohol and sweat that characterizes a number of our representatives. And even when they’re cleaned up, there’s an aftershave contingent up there that would gag a pig. Never smelled tourists…they’re a colorful lot, but they don’t have a smell. Harry’s just engaging in pure insult. You want to smell something, try sitting next to Ted Kennedy back in the day at the Hawk and Dove…there’s bouquet!
Perhaps Capitol Hill is a landfill?
No, it’s the basement of an outhouse.
TXVET2,
My Midwestern is showing. dumb = mute.
Sorry….
You didn’t know their sh&t doesn’t stink?
Harry. You are a hypocrite for not speaking out for your Mormon church during the gay blacklisting.
Nancy. You are a hypocrite for demanding abortion rights when your Catholic church tells you it’s wrong.
THE ODOR YOU SMELL IS A RESULT OF YOUR MORAL DECAY.
And located between the two Senator, is the biggest toilet in Washington, D.C.!
Absolutely on the money. Well said.
I can’t believe that the Senate believes itself so above the common man.
I also can’t believe that Mark David Chapman missed Yoko Ono five times, hitting John Lennon instead.
I’ve said before and will probably be saying it until my last breath — we should cut off the air conditioning in the Capitol.
Before there was a/c in the Capitol, Congress finished its work in May and recessed for the entire summer. Just think of all the useless spending they couldn’t accomplish if they worked 9 months (minus the usual breaks) instead of 12. Just think of all the intrusive laws that couldn’t be passed if they cut their hours by 25%. And think of the savings to the taxpayers when we didn’t have try to cool all that hot air down to a reasonable temperature.
And now I have a new reason to advocate for the removal of the a/c. Harry couldn’t smell those taxpaying, middle class tourists and their offspring who visit the monuments during July. Either he’d hightail it outta DC for the summer, or he’d smell just like the commoners.
elitist snob.
What happened to the concept that those who are elected to public office are there to serve the people? By all means Nevada – vote him in again!
We deserve the government we get.
I suppose those smelly tax paying tourists visiting our Capitol were of the same charachter (being average Americans and all) as those on Flight 93 that saved YOUR tuchis on September 11, 2001.
Ugh.
But they aren’t elitist. Nooooo…not in the least.
The more they speak and are presented in the media, the more I am reminded of pre-Revolution France. Their dream of becoming France may just come true yet.
How about outsourcing Congress to India? …and the CEO’s, too?
Think about the cost savings!
Tar.and.feathers.
Jet Jaguar
Read the other day where they are now outsourcing lawyers to India. If true, half of Washington shouldn’t be far behind. ~
I find Reid’s statement a bit more disturbing. I have also heard lately some comments coming from Washington about the “people”. That we are not “entitled to that information”, that we “stink”, etc. I am feeling that the good Senators and Representatives don’t remember why they are there in the first place. Hey you guys put your pants on just like we do. You aren’t a cut above or any better than good ole Joe the plumber. You need to remember that or you’ll see the boot coming in the next election.
Skunk always smells its own hole!
Harry Reid…what a waste of oxygen!
Two words for Harry: the first one is a verb and the second one is a pronoun.
I can’t believe that he would say something so egregiously stupid as that. As others have said, he isn’t exactly “serving the people.”
As a recently retired congressman said, “I had to buy my lunch for the first time in 30 years.”
There is a real disconnect going on here.
I’ll bring the pole.
It always smells the most at the source!!!! That smell is caused by the likes of Chuck “You” Schumer, Nancy “Bela” Pelosi, and the ever incompetent “Dingy” Harry Reid.
When I was in the Army, we would go on a PT run every morning. If some of the guys (I may have one of them on occasion) in formation had been out to the club too long the night before the smell of whatever they drank came out of their pores in a not too pleasant odor….. Harry, do us a favor and go on a PT run with some REAL men!!!
Expect there to be a “smog” alert on inauguration day.
all reasons for immediate recall and or as Jefferson said:
If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?
The Declaration of Independence states that “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed [that's us, folks], –
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

I learned this trick years ago. Before such a decorous meeting as I would have with scummy hairy, I’d spend an evening with my peasant friends drinking beer and eating hard boiled eggs. Hot sauce optional.
“Senator Reid! The citizens are revolting!”
“Of course they are… and smelly, too.”
What a pathetic excuse for a Senator. I hope that the people of Nevada are hanging their heads in shame.
Add another adjective. I’m now a Smelly Bitter Clinging Redneck. Did I miss any?
Why you goat roping scrubbrush stomping old fool. That is my Capital Building and I’ll stink it up if I want to. If you don’t like it go back to Nevada (if they will let you), put on your hip waders and show the goats how much you love them.
A modification to the movement that sent Bricks to the Congress.
Send cloth wipes of armpit aroma to Harry Reid.
Maybe he can get used to the smell so the people who pay his salary won’t offend him when they tour their Capital Building.
Smelly Bitter Clinging Redneck Assimilist!!
This discussion has given me many laughs! Thanks!
Total azzhead buttface Harry.
I second that! Term limits, and reduction of benefits. They ought to pay for things like housing in Washington, and commuting to and from work while they are in D.C.
You missed clinging to your bible and guns………
A tall steaming pile in the middle of Dingy Harry’s desk ought to give him the message.
You libs gotta be proud to have that idiot Reid as Senate Majority Leader, a man with such wisdom and foresight, not to mention Piglousi Speaker of the House, “most ethical in history” as congress has been able to actually surpass Bush with the worst approval rating, possibly in history. Good going you kool aide drinkers. Gotta be proud.
Harry stinks and Pelosi reeks.
Give Harry the hose. He stinks.
Save this one for when they try to take our guns away.
That’s better.
Just trying to catch up.
That is pretty much how these elitist Beltway types think of we Bitter Clingers/Fly Overs-Smelly Plebeians fouling the air of Their Patrician presence. I would not be surprised to hear that Senator Dingy Harry has a toga in his private office. Yes D.C. can be hot and humid, yes Air Conditioning would help-except it would lead to global warming!
But Liberals do make it easy to hate them more and more every day 
Shame on the people of Nevada for electing this arrogant fool. But we have McCain and J-No so I need be cautious
And now I shall send a letter to Lord Harry and tell him I use Dial, don’t you wish everyone did?

You wanna give Harry a smell to remember?
A Western omelet with Tabasco Sauce washed down with a couple of Miller Lites. Guaranteed to peel paint.
Taking one look at the decrepit old fart I am reminded of the smell of Ben Gay mixed with too much Brute aftershave. Imagine that pungent stench in the beltway heat (if you can pick it out from the rest of the D.C. rankness.)What tool. we should send him a few cases if this:
That old turd is a genetic dead end.
So one “public servant” thinks his constituents are racist rednecks, and another thinks they stink.
Surrendercrat voters deserve what they voted for, but why should the rest of the country suffer?
Anyone opposed to term limits now?
Faced with an absolutely lazy,ignorant, and even depraved electorate, I’ll have to agree with term limits. We’re too far gone not to have them. We’re no longer in save the nation mode, instead we’re looking for a reef to crash the ship so that a few of us can get to shore. Let’s just hope that most of the scum drowns.
ah, can we just leave Harry alone on this one and focus on important issues facing our great country, I am not a fan of his but he just made a realistic comment about tourists being stinky due to washington heat and we are piling on him?..
I will agree with him just a little. I have “smelled” some tourists around D.C.. Most from the tropics, like Nigeria. Whew!!
Has anyone ever seen this man smile?
