Washington's a cesspool of money.

I love Washington. I have an affection for the place. For a satirist, I think it's sort of Disneyland. I mean, you know, there's always some inspiration in the morning's headlines.

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.

The whole notion of an embassy is like 'The Other.' That's what makes Washington interesting.

Washington is a city that coddles up to and worships power.

I haven't been in Washington long, but I have learned that it is a place filled with people who say one thing to get elected and do the opposite once they get there.

It's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington.

I love Washington, D.C.; I love this country, but I think over the last hundred years we've built up would I call an arrogant empire: people who think the rest of us are too stupid to make our own decisions.

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

Everything we do is very, very touched by what happens in Washington.
