President Andrew Jackson broke with tradition and invited the common people to the White House reception after his inauguration in 1829 and they tracked in mud and otherwise left him a big cleaning bill. But history has recorded no sniping remarks from him about it. The snark is left to his Democrat party descendents such as (who else?) Harry Reid. Thanks to the air-conditioning (wind or solar-generated, surely, can’t be from oil or coal) in the new Capitol Visitors Center, Reid’s delicate olfactory sensibilities will no longer be troubled by commoner body odor. Term limits, please.
