Default Washington ?'s

If you could choose the name for the late Montreal Expos when they move to Washington DC, what would it be?

I do not have enough ideas to start an official poll.

I have heard the obvious, Washington Senators (my choice even if they must pay Texas for the copyright) and Washington Gray's (after a former Negro league team).

Any other ideas other than these?

Hmmm. Interesting. I'm a fan of DC and politics so let's have some fun with this...

Yeah, the traditional Washington Senators has some appeal to it...but...

Washington Lobbyists
Washington K Street Lawyers
Washington Posers
Washington Ugly People (as in the phrase, "Politics is show business for ugly people.")
Washington Officials
Washington Monuments (ala Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd)
Washington Spenders
Washington Staffers
Washington Metros (after the great subway system)
Washington Bureaucrats
Washington Consultants
Washington Fellows
Washington Acronyms
Washington Pork Barrelers
Washington Crackheads (not Crapheads -- we'll save THAT for OKC's team)
Washington Congressmen
Washington Smiths
Washington Interest Groups
Washington G-men
Washington Leaders
Washington Federals
Washington Mosquitoes
Washington Maulers (pun on Mall)
Washington Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them
Washington Diplomats

I don't if District residents would go for any of these....

Wow, floater, you have some great suggestions. Although I like restoring the former glory of the Senators, from what I've read, they're considering calling them the Washington Capitals.

Thanks for the inside info. mranderson. Surprising enough, that didn't even make floaters list! Oh well....I guess that will work. Not very original, but oh well!
