The pure unadulterated disgust of Washington seems to me to be a really good thing.

I think, first of all, you know, Washington has a bad habit of a very short attention span.

Of course people think Washington is arrogant. It is.

Washington isn't utterly dysfunctional.

Washington is not a city that takes great pride in being a healthy place, necessarily. Now, I have no data. That's just my own observation.

Honestly, the egos and the quest and thirst for power is very prevalent in Washington.

Sometimes I wonder whether Washington's liberal politicians truly understand the greatness that is America.

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.

Things have gotten so nasty in Washington.

The irony is that Washington was, in reality, very much like Benedict Arnold. The big difference was that Washington was ultimately able to control his emotions, something Arnold never learned to do.
