A Congressman who can code

Found on CNET:

In what appears to be a first, the US House of Representatives now has a Congressman who can code...in assembly. That's right, a Congressman with geek skills.

Democratic Representative Bill Foster won a special election this past Saturday in the 14th Congressional District of Illinois. This was the district that former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert held from 1986-2007. Hastert stepped down in November of 2007.

He is apparently conversant in Assembly, Fortran, and VB. Sadly, RPG apparently not one of his skills :(
