This popped up in several places around the opening of a new visitor center for the US Capitol. Like most government projects it is over budget, controversial, blah, blah, blah. That bothers me, but this statement by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada really gets me:
"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."

Harry – when your "staff" tells you not to do something, don't do it. These smelly tourists pay your salary and, odds are, a few vote for you. This is not the "change" that we are looking for and even more evidence that those elected to serve need to rotate in and out of the real world a bit more.
Somebody show this guy the door…
