 It was once said that if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Tip O'Neill famously said that. It is lonely. It is brutal. You're on your own. Your colleagues say, I'm right behind you. Ten miles behind you, but I'm right behind you. People will turn on you in a moment where you can be doing great and people want to photo op with you. You fail. You flub, which we all do as human beings. I've had my own failures, and people want to distance themselves from you. So it's no place to look towards friends, but friends.
