Share this post:

The “Swamp” blog of the Chicago Tribune’s Washington, D.C., bureau reports on the favored tourist destinations of Rep. Peter Roskam:

In keeping with Roskam’s fiscally conservative credentials (and, to be fair, the general spirit of tourist attractions in Washington), everything on the list is free to enter. Among the highlights, with Roskam’s commentary:

No. 3, The Library of Congress: “The beauty of the Great Hall will take your breath away and rivals anything you’ve seen in Europe.”

He’s right.? But only number three?!? (Just kidding.)? Well, one of the top two spots is apparently his own House office, so that?s not bad at all.

But then there’s No. 7:

National Archives: “Did you see National Treasure with Nicholas Cage” This is the scene of the “crime”.

Ironically, come December, the congressman might want to put a similar footnote on the Library’s entry about that movie’s sequel!

    and earlier technologies, it’s remarkable article.
