Rep. Roskam Has Our Number
Posted on: June 8th, 2007 by Matt Raymond
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!
