You could always head to Dupont Circle and get freaky with a closeted Republican.
Seriously tho you should tack on a few extra days to sightsee, and you don't even need a car. Arlington Cemetary, the Vietnam and WWII memorial, the capitol building, supreme court, white house, etc. can all be seen in a day or two, and you don't need a car due to the awesome metro system.
