This is not the congressman from East Texas on whom the 2007 movie Charlie Wilson's War was based. That Charlie Wilson passed away in 2010.

This Charlie Wilson was a not-half-bad Blue Dog Democrat, who was a member of the Rural Caucus, Sportsmen's Caucus, and the Steel Caucus. However, he did vote for the Senate version of Obamacare.

Committee assignments:
Financial Services: Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises; Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit
Committee on Science and Technology: Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight; Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics

He started out as an undertaker and eventually ran for Congress. He suffered a brain aneurysm in February and seemed to be recovering. RIP.

Thus proving the validity of my previous post.
