And how an administration bent on \"changing Washington\" can be sucked into the ways of This Town with the same ease with which Tea Party insurgents can, once elected, settle into it like a warm bath. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOutrageous, fascinating, and very necessary, This Town is a must-read whether you're inside the highway which encircles DC--or just trying to get there.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Leibovich\u003c\/b\u003e is a recipient of the National Magazine Award for profile writing.
