On the same day “Stuff Hill People Like” released their latest post [Hill People like loving/hating tourists], ASM notes that it’s apparently not just low-level  staffers that hate tourists- even the highest levels of power have recently also showed their disdain.

Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-NV) yesterday on the Senate Floor: 

“Mr. President, someone wanting to visit the Capitol today, there is no place for them to gather. They gather -it used to be out on the East Front – now they gather on the West Front. And the people who work here joke about you can always tell when it’s summertime because you can smell the visitors. And what we mean by that Mr. President – they stand out there in the high humidity, heat, sweating, and it’s really – there’s no place for them to go.” Sen. Harry Reid’s Floor remarks today.

Besides passing out bars of deodorant, what exactly would Harry like to do with these odor-ridden visitors?
