Get the Denzel Washington mug.Noun- The ailment from which a politician suffers from being in Washington too long, and has a result, lost touch with his constituents.
A politician with washingtonitis usually raises massive amounts of money from special interest groups (i.e. Political Action Committees ((PACs)) Big Banks, Real Estate, Financial Investment groups and Corporations). In return for their monetary support the politicians support and lobby for the benefit of their patrons and usually override voters of the people the District. Often these are in Districts where there is little or no opposition. Thus there is nothing to incite an incumbent to do anything for the benefit of his District. See Eric Cantor, John Boehner and Michelle Bachmann

INGRAHAM: ... because this -- because of this. Because the things -- some of the things that you've said -- and they're not all negative, but some of the comments you've made about the Tea Party movement: it's good as the grass roots movement, which I agree. And then you also said, but not -- as a caucus, might not be that helpful.
And then, you know, your -- I think your comment, maybe it was last year about Rush Limbaugh wanting the president to fail. And people get a little worried that...
CANTOR: What?
INGRAHAM: ... you know, even Eric Cantor can get caught up in the Washingtonitis, that's all.

Get the Washington State Midget Mudslide mug.Denotes the disgustingly vacillating and wishy-washy opinions/voting records that many Congressman possess; their official stances on issues will ALTERNATE wildly back and forth, depending on the CURRENT political "wind direction".

Get the Washington AC mug.The capital of the United States. D.C. is known for it's government buildings and rich parts in Northwest, DA HOOD in Southeast (especially in Anacostia and Washington Highlands), the middle class yet quasi-hood of Northeast and Southwest, and the Potomac River which is a great place to take a bath in. Despite what some people may say, D.C. is *NOT* the south, culturally speaking D.C. is about as southern as Wisconsin. People in D.C. have a Canadian sounding accent like they do in Wisconsin too. To the north of D.C. is Maryland aka Crabland and south of D.C. is good ole Virginny, aka no-mans land.
Anyone who thinks that Washington, DC is the south is an idiot. Culturally speaking D.C. is far more like Canada than the south. The accent spoken in D.C. is the same accent that's spoken in Wisconsin. Our Nation's Capital may be under the Mason-Dixon line, but hey, that line was drawn back IN THE 1700's, so it's outdated. But go one hour south of D.C. and you will be in the south, believe you me.

Get the Washington, DC mug.A daily newspaper, founded in 1982, and funded by the Unification Church and Reverend Sun Myun Moon. Although begun as a conservative counterweight to Communism, the newspaper has gradually won respect for its journalism. Today, it is held in high esteem for its Metropolitan pages and its non-ideological foreign news pages, although the editorial coverage still retains a firmly conservative viewpoint.
Ever since HMB went to work at the Washington Times, his contributions at urbandictionary have tapered off into nothingness. One can only hope that his literary output is being put to equally creative uses.
