Actually the founders are to blame for DC's political status. The republicans didn't put DC under congressional control that was the founders. Not only did they foresee some out of state clown running the city they designed it that way.

They designed it to be under Federal control, but Madison wrote in the Federalist 43 that "a municipal legislature for local purposes, derived from their own suffrages, will of course be allowed them." This issue sure feels like a local purpose to me. It was different founders who wanted complete control, so perhaps my statement should be amended a bit. Even founders like Madison who were for complete control felt that DC should get representation eventually...but he never spelled out when that was.
