Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.

Washington's a cesspool of money.

Washington is a place where politics and economics often aren't on speaking terms.

I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.

Oh, that all the things my father had told me about how disgusting Washington is are true. And again it's the system - there are lots of nice, well-meaning people there. But it's a sleazy place. And politics is all about doing favors.

People have no confidence that Washington, both sides of aisle, are coming together to try and do what's right for the economy.

This is other people's money that Washington is appropriating and spending.

If ever there were a place where people not only tend not to face economic facts, but it's almost their purpose not to face economic facts, it's Washington.

Washington is a place where people have always been suspect of style and overt sexuality. Too much preening signals that you're not up late studying cap-and-trade agreements.

I've never seen Washington as divided as we are right now.
