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

Don’t people have to have at least some degree of charisma to get elected? From one of the above posts, I see he was appointed, but how did he get to the No. 2 position in the Senate?
What was almost as disturbing was the film footage of Dingy Harry’s statement. The camera panned the audience and all the “underlings” were giggling. One woman was nodding her head enthusiastically and whispering to those seated next to her — presumably about her experience smelling the “stank” of those who pay her salary.
Man, isn’t Reid old enough to remember what it smelled like as the founding fathers hammered out the Constitution? That group didn’t take a shower every day or have modern deodorant and toothpaste, but what a document they came up with despite the fragrant atmosphere they generated.
That Harry Reid, and other members of congress, should have to suffer the indignities of the smell of the common man is, barbaric…
barbaric…
BARBARIC !!!…
barbaric…
Psssssst Harry, you just stand to close to Pelosi.
Can you imagine what a “stink” this would make if Harry referred to selected tourists?
Any physical smell from those who pay Reid’s salary is completely overpowered by the stench of corruption and incompetence that emanates from the Capitol – and it’s not coming from the tourists.
When you have brain-dead voters, they elect people like Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry et al. What a sad commentary that is!
Harry Reid is a disgusting piece of filth, and I told him so. He is the one who smells like s*hit.
I guess we could all send him one of those little rubber piles of you know what….lol
I can take a shower, but you’re still ugly!
smelly clinging redneck racist gun toting bigots. you used to be the backbone of the democrat party, now it’s brie eating latte sipping bonus binging metromen and harvard educated queers that make up the party of the people. good luck working/union people, you have been replaced with environmentalist homosexual snobs.
Hmm, I thought conservative Republicans were the elitist, out-of-touch snobs.
Anyway, I bet Hippies stink much worse than the usual hoi polloi.
The Founding Fathers labored in very hot rooms to pound out the Constitution. The body odor stench was probably pretty strong. I’m sure that Harry Reid would have felt very uncomfortable and out of place beside these valiant and God fearing men.
Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, Frank, Dodd, Boxer, Waxman, Kerry, Kennedy, Leahy – all reasons for
term limitseuthanasia. (fixed)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).
