The shaming of Washington, insofar as it is even possible, is a very noble pursuit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Washington is a city that coddles up to and worships power.
Honestly, the egos and the quest and thirst for power is very prevalent in Washington.
I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.
The political spin in Washington is revolting, just revolting. It's a callous political game.
Washington's entire honesty of mind and his fearless look into the face of all facts are qualities which can never go out of fashion and which we should all do well to imitate.
I think that the worst form of naivete can be extreme cynicism. If you think that nobody comes to Washington to do any good whatsoever, that is almost as bad as being starry-eyed and thinking that they are all here to advance democracy.
If you think about it, Washington's overwhelming power in the world is founded on death, the awesome arsenal for killing people.
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.
Everything we do is very, very touched by what happens in Washington.
I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.
