Um, maybe it was supposed to be a picture of the White House?

Love it (not) when they use images of one for the other in book covers. (Looks like a D.C. building, slap it on the cover, call it done!)

Or an office window with a view of the Capitol possible only from a perspective midair over the National Mall.

Should be a “Capitol offense”!

Is there really such a long flight of stairs to your Capitol? If so, how do the fat Senators manage-with sedan chairs?

This cover is one of the few depictions of the true grandeur of the Capitol Steps. All other news and website photos of the Capitol Steps are photoshopped to more modest proportions at government request. NSA.

Senators use elevators from the parking garage in the Capitol Basement. The Capitol Steps are mainly decorative (except that time Congressman Jenrette and wife re-enacted their wedding night there).

But now that the solar flare has destroyed the power grid Congress will be getting a good workout.
