The
Big Smear Campaign The police are looking for a miscreant who in the past few weeks, presumably in the dead of night, has been smearing door handles of Sport Utility Vehicles parked in Georgetown with canine excrement. Yesterday the perpetrator's motive remained deeply mysterious: Is he or she a crude environmental bioterrorist protesting the use of gas-guzzling SUVs? Or is this person a zealous dog-hater who has been victimizing pet-owners who also happen to drive SUVs? We hear that one of the victims, Georgetown resident Katie Snowdon, met on Monday with officers of D.C.'s 2nd District to discuss the proliferation of Georgetown smearings, and that the cops are taking it seriously. "Our officers met with a resident and went out to canvass the area, and they are going to try to give the area special attention," Public Information Officer Kenneth Bryson told us yesterday. "We don't have anybody who has seen anybody doing anything, so it has probably happened at night. We're asking people to let the 2nd District know if they see anything." Anti-SUV activist and former Georgetown resident Arianna Huffington, who has been spearheading a national advertising campaign against driving the popular vehicles, told us yesterday she is disturbed by the smearing reports. "If this is a domestic terrorist group, like the Earth Liberation Front, they could be very dangerous and the FBI should be involved," the Los Angeles resident said. "I don't think it's cute -- just like Ted Kaczyinski wasn't cute."
