"God forbid that anyone will ever tell me that the city of Washington is my home; it is not.  I detest it.  I really do.  I cannot think of another place to have a nation’s capital in the world that is a worse place to live.  The air compared to my state is abominable.  We shorten our life spans by coming to this town." - Sen.
