For starters – quit calling them Washingtonians. Because DC is not Washington.
It'd be nice if for once when I left the west coast and said I was from Washington when asked, that people understood I mean the actual fucking state, not DC.
He spends most of the segment complaining about how Congressmen treat DC residents like children, who shouldn't be allowed to control their budget or legalize marijuana. But then he complains when Congress tried to legalize semi-automatic gun ownership in DC – a right that most other states have.

Explain to me again why you call yourselves the greatest democracy on earth?
