Nobody likes Mordor on the Potomac

In Washington, D.C., the "traffic is bad," "most of the people you talk to are frauds" and Georgetown "sucks," at least according to former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer.

Schweitzer, a possible Democratic candidate for Senate, called CQ Roll Call on Monday to chat after we reached out to a source close to him for comment on this story.

Schweitzer would be favored to win if he decided to run for the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Max Baucus. Of course, he didn't say much in the five-minute interview and boasted as much at its conclusion.
