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

I’m sure if anyone of us went back to the 1700s, we would all recoil in disgust with the odors; and not just from the people. Bathing was still considered bad for your health. Sewage was common in the streets. No a/c. Streets were usually dirt, and the horses dropped their dung anywhere it was convenient. Forget the water, drink beer. The meat for meals would be very questionable. Our immune systems would be working overtime, compared to those of that century that were used to the “attacks”. Flies were everywhere, which is one of the reasons why the Declaration was voted on so quickly…to get out of the room with all the horseflies. Summertime was usually a good time to leave the cities because of the fevers and the pox. No, I wouldn’t want to go back there unless I had some surgical masks dipped in after-shave, plenty of repellent, and plenty of MREs (easy to carry).
