Summary

This quote highlights the issue of distance in Washington's political landscape. It implies that the individuals working in Washington, arguably the seat of power in the United States, are disconnected from their hometowns or the areas they represent.

I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined.
