Why DC is called "Hollywood for ugly people"

According to Reuters, John Ashcroft, Condoleezza Rice and the "Singing Senators" aren't the only wannabe rock stars to have graced the Bush administration with their musical finesse–add the president's current chief of staff to that list:

Josh Bolten entertained a congressional picnic on the White House lawn by playing bass guitar in a band called "The Compassionates." In black pants, white shirts, skinny black ties and sunglasses, they performed songs including "Born to be Wild."

And had to dodge flying undergarments, I'm sure. At least they weren't wearing leather pants and fishnet tops, but seriously–"The Compassionates;" "The Second Amendments?"

Where are all the cool political band names, like "Karl Rove's Large Intestine," or "Quail Incident," or "Screaming Filibuster?"

Oh, such squandered potential.
