My favorite congressman of all time has passed away. Charlie Wilson passed away earlier today. Wilson is best known for getting majority of the funding for the covert operation in Afghanistan. While Wilson was known as "Good Time Charlie" on the Hill, while he was in office, he got work done. If anyone has seen or read Charlie Wilson's War then you would be familar with the wild lifestyle that Wilson led, but he was honest with his constituents and he was effective.
Wilson is the main reason for my interest in Afghanistan and always will be my favorite Congressman.
RIP Charlie Wilson
