If that was good enough for George Washington, it's good enough for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
Washington has always had a pretty healthy amount of self-loathing.
For more than eight decades, Washington has been my hometown. My whole orientation is toward this place.
I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody, whether it was a journalist, the legal system or, in that case of the political system, who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
I haven't let Washington change me.
When I found out that there was eight Presidents before George Washington, I wanted to smack somebody.
I would never, ever in my life say, 'I want to go to Washington to heal the soul of Washington.'
The pure unadulterated disgust of Washington seems to me to be a really good thing.
I'm not a Washington person.
