I watched the History Channel broadcast last night that we had recorded on our DVR.

Fascinating & riveting, to say the least. It really refreshed a lot of my vague memories of that era. I had forgotten about the car crash Charlie had prior to his junket to Paris & Pakistan. I just got my job & was headquartered in Liberty County, TX. My supervisor & co-workers had nothing but bad to say about Charlie. I voted against him in his re-election bid and recall when he managed to come-from-behind to secure another victory.

Now, years later, I have to admire the guy for what he managed to pull off.

Now I want to get the book.

I probably wont be watching the Hollywood version until it comes out on DVD or PPV. We have a youngster & babysitters are scarce in our neck of the woods.

I’d love to meet the real Charlie Wilson - maybe one of these days I will get back to east Texas.

Thank you for the post. If his health gets better, Charlie Wilson will earn substantial sums of money from public speaking, guest appearances, and the like. We understand the DVD will be available April 2008, but this is unofficial. - TAB
