Some of us live (and work) here in the Washington, DC area.
And may I remind you that if Washington, DC is a "dangerous cancer", a good part of the reason is due to elected officials.
Those elect6ed officials are, for the most part, elected by people who live a long way from Washington, DC.

yeah, it is all OUR fault that they can't seem to stay away from corruption. /sarcasm
