Below, Hale shares five observations he made about politics while working on the show. Veep premieres this Sunday, April 22, on HBO.

5 Observations I Made About Politics From Working on Veep, by Tony Hale

1. Not unlike high school, the closer you are to the popular kids, the more powerful you feel.

2. The only bipartisan place in D.C. is Brooks Brothers.

3. In a desperate attempt to sound smart, everyone is cutting and pasting off Wikipedia.

5. We get you're important, but long motorcades piss everyone off.
