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.

Washington has always had a pretty healthy amount of self-loathing.

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

I've seen disgusting excess in business, and I've seen disgusting excess in Washington. But at the same time, I've certainly learned that Washington matters and that you can't ignore it, especially when you get into telecom.

Washington is unpredictable these days.

I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.

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

Washington's a cesspool of money.

Sometimes we pay too much attention in Washington to public relations, as opposed to the substance.

I've been in Washington ever since 1981, trying to get out!
