WASHINGTON — The long wait is finally over for visitors who have been yearning for a whiff of a giant flower that smells oddly like rotting flesh.

This giant plant "stinks" just like D.C. politics.

They had one of those at the greenhouse at UNC-Charlotte a couple of years ago. Ugh.

[Cyclone59]

I thought that was just the BO of the citizens that Harry Reid was complaining about a few years ago.

Who says God doesn’t have a sense of irony.

[Biggirl]

....Or humor for that matter. :)

I assume from the stink that Moooshell is breeding one right in the oval orifice.

Would that rotten, stinking flower represent the White House Press Corpse?

Or maybe it's one of the Corpse-men in Obama's Civilian Militia that he dreams of commanding.

“Over the last many years, this plant has proven to be the biggest attractor, not only of carrion beetles but of human beings that we’ve had,” Novy said. “It’s just got everything for a good mystery. It’s cryptic. It’s exotic. The timing is off. It’s inconsistent. It’s inconsiderate. It’s got all those great things. It’s from far away, and it smells bad, and people get interested.”

It's just like congress-critters.

Think she wore one to the Prom.

[Kozak]

Maybe if she just douched...

[RedMDer]

It’s called the

“Stinky Harry” :)

[Klemper]

We are overdue for a new National Flower! Lets celebrate! /sarc

[mountainlion]

Isn’t there a saying about something rotting form the head first?

The official flower for the City of Detroit.

A bouquet of these stinkers would be appropriate to present to B.O.

[Gay State Conservative]

I think the last blooming was on 1/20/2009

[RJS1950]

The stench of the National Socialist Democrats who are destroying our country; and I include RINOs in the bunch as well.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They had one at Phipps Conservatory here in Pittsburgh too. Smells even worse than some of the creeks where sanitary sewers still overflow after a heavy rain.

Typical smells from LIBERALS -—they should put one in BUSHNELL PARK, the air might smell better then LIBERALS (and Gov. Malloy) BS. :-)
