Sad to say, you dont see those sorta Democrats anymore.
I enjoyed reading his book. Of course, it was better than the movie.
I wish I coulda met the man - I lived in the district he represented.

RIP

Now THIS was a man.

The book reveals how he out-foxed both sides of the aisle and the CIA to whup the Soviets.

Wow! Charlie, you’re the second guy I want to meet in heaven.

Granted, I may not make it there, but I know you will.

One of the few Democrats I liked. One helluva story there. He could’ve shown Bill Clinton a thing or two as well LOL.

He was a great man for what he did to get Congress behind defeating the Sov's in Afghanistan. You don't see them any more, Scoop Jackson Democrats, liberals on domestic policy but conservative on foreign and defense. It was because of Dems like this that Reagan could govern.

Of course, I loved the movie. My favorite line was something like this (from memory):

Tip wanted me to ask you if --

He wants me to take a seat on the Ethics Committee.

Yeah

Well, hell, I'm on the other side of that issue!

LOL!

Charlie Wilson was a rascal with a good heart and a solid core of patriotism. I trust that he and Ben Franklin are now swapping tales.

[hadaclueonce]

Thank you Mr. Wilson.

[Jackknife]

RIP Good Time Charlie.

I am confident that Charlie Wilson with a handler like the Lady Speaker would have behaved just like all the other Dem rats.

[SwinneySwitch]

Adios, Charlie.
