Wonkette Poop Operative “Max” wrote last night about this very important issue, which maybe has resolved itself by now? “File this one under the ‘local’ section, but there is an intensely overwhelming stench of sewage all along Connecticut Ave. NW from Cleveland Park to Farragut Square tonight…”
Ooh, a “terrible poop smell” story! Do go on.
My friends and I noticed it at about 10:30 pm in DuPont, and pretty much everyone on the street was covering their noses. It was also a big topic of conversation at Julia’s empanadas. It even seeped into the Farragut West Metro station, and my friend from Cleveland Park said he can smell it up there too. It’s like when all of New York smelled like maple syrup, but way less awesome and more like Hell split open and splattered poop all over Northwest. Please do some investigative journalism because we all know the Post won’t!
Quick somebody go to this Connecticut Ave. NW of which he speaks, and tell us if it still reeks horribly of dung. Jim VandeHei’s Pulitzer Prize committee, here we come!

“My what an incredible smell you’ve found…”
“No worries, it’s just JoeLie.”
Get Megs McCain and her Draino on the blower, stat.
I noticed it last night, but thought the smell was more “awful fish-cooking stank” than poop stank.
Either Senator Byrd did his annual “pull my finger” joke or you got a case of rotting Ginkgo tree fruit.
Maybe it came from the fifty-foot-tall burning paper bag that Joe Lieberman left on the Senate doorstep, after ringing the bell and running away.
God sent locusts as warnings. Ted Kennedy’s ghost prefers His omens be in the form of stank.
Maybe someone opened up a durian concession, for x-mas. http://foodtraveldiary.com/malaysian-food/do-i-dare-to-eat-a-durian-fruit
Joe Lieberman is walking up and down Connecticut Ave.?
Right upside the ad for “What’s my pee telling me?” and “What’s your poo telling you?” I’m staying out of the Wonkette pissoir.
Ahhh, I love the smell of poop in the morning…….it smells like…VICTORY!
great – a snow storm AND poop! God loves DC.
[re=481308]the problem child[/re]: I saw a sign in a hotel in Hue:
“The prostitute, the stinky fruit, the poison and the explosive are strictly forbidden in the hotel room”
[re=481304]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: haha. But you’re almost certainly right: ginkgo. I’ll be at Cleveland Park later. I’ll remove the cigarette from my face long enough to investigate.
If the smell had been a combo of vinegar and water, I would’ve assumed that Ben Nelson had just walked past.
Shit ha…(Bang! Thump.)
Sorry guys, I’ll remember to take my Beano next time.
Santorum’s back in town.
Somebody fahhhhhhhhted
IT WAS THOSE GUTTER TRASH NOOBAMA DAUGHTERZ
Well, they said it was near a place called Cleveland Park; maybe someone wanted to make it more like the city Cleveland (which does not in fact rock).
Did the 19th century White House plumbing break down?
DC = Deuce City
[re=481305]Aflac Shrugged[/re]: FTW!
[re=481329]JMP[/re]: At least it doesn’t look like Detroit.
That odor would be the overwhelming stench of failure, finally working itself into the atmosphere from everyone and everything in D.C.
So are you implying that a persistent poop smell isn’t normal?
Damn, okay, list that as another reason to move.
[re=481305]Aflac Shrugged[/re]: Classic!
I for one plan to boycott Connecticut Avenue.
It’s just more of the LIEberman stench that shrouds all things Connecticut these days.
In the heading “Annals of Investigative Journalism”, you have used an extra “n” in the spelling of “Anals”.
Yours truly,
The Spelling Police
If the smell was something like a used tampon baked under the Death Valley sun someone may have been mixing up a batch of stinky tofu.
As pain radiates, so you are fooled by its real source, so does the poo stench from K Street lobbyist whores. That’s why Congress takes their munnies, to make them go away.
Jim Vandehei’s committee? Heck, Vandehei himself is probably the cause of the stench.
As someone who has tried Julia’s empanadas late at night, I can honestly say it may be ground zero.
Good move, Sara, sending “Wonkette Operatives” to do the investigation for you. Your nose is certainly desensitized to poop smell by now.
This may be the first Pulitzer ever earned while simultaneously nursing a baby.
Next thing you know, manhole covers will start blowing up into the air. Oh, wait…
[re=481338]Aflac Shrugged[/re]: Ha my city is literally Santorum, but I’m thinking of altering it to Joementum to more accurately reflect the problem.
I didn’t get the poo smell. I would have sworn it was a dead rodent, then a dead raccoon, then a dead large animal. definitely something dead.
[re=481316]GuyClinch[/re]: Nah, rotting ginkgo fruit smells like baby puke, not baby poo.
It’s just the celebratory santorum in anticipation of Fenty’s big signing-thingy today.
What do you expect? You live/work in The Swamp!
[re=481315]x111e7thst[/re]: Those rules are too restrictive for DC.
[re=481895]lochnessmonster[/re]: You are correct sir.
So, is everyone surviving. Us amused expat D.C. people up in the Upper Midwest want to know.
