This Week's Winner of the FOOT IN THE MOUTH AWARD, SENATOR HARRY REID (D-NV) 
Once again, a Congressman has provided not only some laughs, but has once again proved the Best and the Brightest are NOT in Washington DC. Then again, they keep getting elected, not sure what that says about us, the, according to Sen. Reid (D-Nv), The Great Unwashed Masses. I have also come to the conclusion that we should stop using the formal "The Honorable such and such" in our addresses to our congress persons, but start using "The Pompous such and such" where it would be more accurate. I will start with California's own Senator Boxer (D-Ca), and add Senator Reid to the list. He did make me laugh, I have to give him credit for that!!
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nv)
I can only assume that Sen. Reid has become so accustomed to the smell of 
Bull Sh*t, empty suits and money, that he cannot recognise the smell of the common working man.
SEN. REID: WE WON'T SMELL THE TOURISTS ANYMORE
By Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin

The Capitol Visitors Center, which opened this 
morning, may have tripled its original budget and fallen years behind schedule (nothing unusual in that statement, after all, it is not their money they are spending-JohnOh), but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found a silver lining for members of Congress: tourists won't offend them with their B.O. anymore.
"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."
But it's no longer going to be true, noted Reid, thanks to the air conditioned, indoor space.
And that's not all. "We have many bathrooms here, as you can see," Reid continued. "Souvenirs are available." (I guess this makes calling American Taxpayers, Stinky and Smelly all okay-JohnOh)
$621 million well spent.
LOL...I read this last night in amazement...that stank Harry smells is that rancid stank thats coming from the Congressional Hall...it wafts down the Hall...across the Country...we all smell it Harry...and we know where it's really coming from .....dude...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh....and us with soldiers who can't feed their families or give their children Christmas gifts because they are below poverty level income.
ReplyDeleteOMG.....
ReplyDeleteHave an idea for Harry, a key chain souvenir that reads WASHINGTON DC, then in latin: I CAME I SAW I STANK.
ReplyDeleteGator Where are you? I know the first two: Veni, Vidi but what is the latin for stank, and do not say Tanksa!!!!! (Or what Cherie said!!)
ankstay???
ReplyDeleteLOL Good Lord Cherie, I have enough problems with English and you expect me to know PigLatin too!!!!????
ReplyDeletewell.....we are talking about pork barrel spending here aren't we...not in the absolute traditional sense I guess...but it'll do as a descriptive term...so pig latin it is.....
ReplyDeleteOH OH I like your thinking, beauty AND brains!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he knows who he works for?
ReplyDeleteI like that...my letter to Harry will start off like this.."Dear Harry, have you forgotten you work for us stinky rat bastards...I am now wondering, what does that make you????" LOL
ReplyDeleteHmm sounds to me like he is telling it like it is. Let the guy be human for gosh sakes.
ReplyDeleteI totally respect your comment, but, sometimes when your in a postion like Harry's, it's better to not say some things....it's better to be diplomatic..but, if you have followed this mans career, you will find that verbal gaffes against constituants, is a past time for Mr. Harry. Sometimes it's better to have a pound of restraint, than an ounce of brain..unfortunately, Harry has only that ounce of brain...and nothing to back that up..I still think the stank is coming from Congress....
ReplyDeleteYes indeed it is better to be diplomatic but not everyone has that kind of restraint. In my opinion this particular verbal gaffe is not so terribly uncool but more just amusing and realistic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you calling them ' pompous ', I think pıoliticians are the same all over the world.
ReplyDeleteHA!! I needed a laugh. Can we just say "completely out of touch with the people he represents?"
ReplyDeletemaybe mr reid should return to Nevada, then he wouldn't have to be concerned with the aroma of the people visiting the place where decisions are made to waste our money!
ReplyDeletethis is the closest I can come up with... Come, Look, Stink... ADVEHO VULTUS FETEO
ReplyDeleteVery funny indeed, as for realistic, these citizens used to have to stand in the hot humid sun for hours to view and pay homage to our nations capital, and this man has the gall to say such a thing. It is not like the people he said smell do not bathe or take care of themselves. The same thing for citizens who used to have to stand in the cold for hours on end. At least now they can wait in comfort, just like the congressmen and women. As for the Congressional Visitors Center, the real tragedy is the reason the hundreds of millions of dollars in overruns was because congress added a lot of goodies for themselves in the area of the Visitors Center, in fact was redesigned during construction to meet their wants. May be another blog there. Well we do elect them, time and again. . .Like Rockin' always enjoy your input and opinion, and Sir Harry does have a bit of history on similar comments.
ReplyDeleteThoughtless comment made that is typical for polititcians really ....
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the song /:-)
Politics sigh, do you see or hear what is going on in Canada ? After a little Federal Election at the cost of over $300 million , they want to oust the Prime Minister. Although I didn't vote for him , I don't agree on kicking him out. The people voted him in and he should stay. The other 3 parties are joining up greedily for a piece of the pie and rubbing their hands together in glee, wanting to get him out. The election was October 14th and he got voted in a little stronger than the last time. I might not agree with all of his policies, but I disagree with what they are wanting to do. What is the sense of voting if they can do this. I wouldn't say if he did something really wrong then that would be another story. It really disgusts me.
ReplyDeletehmmm Harry Reid ?...he should be tried for treason...dang Obama won..guess not. terrorist are busting now..them smelly bastards
ReplyDeleteA CNN Mini-Report: In both capital centers of Nevada and Washington, DC, all offices were immediately evacuated due to a gas emmission of immenent proportions. When asked to comment, Senator Harry Reid replied, "The state Militia has been called, and we have rounded up better than 250 visitors from Washington, DC, that seem to be the cause of this disaster."
ReplyDeleteIn Washington , DC, former President Clinton stated, "We have taken action and have gathered up all the cabinet members and the President, and are sending them to an independant area, namely "51" in Nevada. As to the primary oder being contained, we are asking Condeleeza Rice not to step back into the country again. She was the primary carrier. So to answer the main question, no it was not Hillary's panties."
Speculating on all this, The Gov. of Alaska, Sarah Palin remarked, "I can smell something from here."
CNN ... where breaking news is broken like never before. No film at eleven.
Now that is breath taking news!!!
