I thought we fought a Revolution to rid this country of Royalty. Today's “Washingtonians” think they are ruling by Divine Right. It's ironic that Mr. Limbaugh calls them “Washingtonians” since General Washington was vehemently opposed to a monarchy and to even the suggestion that a crown might be offered to him by the Continental Army. He would be very distraught to know how far this country has strayed from the ideals for which he and his fellow Patriots fought. They pledged “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” and now, 230+ years later, this country has traded its freedom for security. “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin, 1775

I'm sure he meant it as "Washington" the district, not the man. Maybe..."DC-crats"?
