Default Charlie Wilson's War

A quote by Gus Avrakotos (CIA) in "Charlie Wilson's War" explaining his
relationship with Wilson: "What brought us together was chasing pussy and
killing communist".

And I ask, could there be a more noble pursuit?

Another interesting point was that the Russian Hind choppers had killed so many
of the transport mules that the CIA had to buy mules and ship them to the
front. Even sent some good Tennessee mules. There were some protest when it
was found that, and I know of no nicer way to put this, the Afghans were having
sex with the mules we sent them. All was cleared up when they learned that it
was socially acceptable to have sex with a mule as long as one assumed the
proper position. No shit!

Remind me to carry Smith's box of rat poison it I ever go over there!

George Crile and "Good Time" Charlie Wilson did a vastly entertaining
exposition at the LBJ Library a few weeks ago, to a crowd of about a
thousand folks. Crile is the guy who put together the book on Wilson's
exploits in Afghanistan, *Charlie Wilson's War.* Send me a reminder in a
couple of weeks and I'll get a copy of something interesting to you.

How you keepin'?

Damn straight, Elvis. My chase of the women was always oiled by a liberal dose
of booze but my chase (timid as it might have been) of the communist was done
cold stone sober.

I knew it wuz more fun chasing women and now you've pointed out the reason.

Thank you, thank you very much.

As you probably know I live in Charlie's old district and have followed him
since Arthur Temple moved him from his Big Tin Barn lumberyard in Diboll to
Washington. Temple is straight as an arrow and I assume Charlie was too until
he got to the capital and quickly went to hell.

He was a hotdog, which doesn't appeal to me, but there was also a bit of the
populist in old Charlie that I admired. He did a lot of good for people in the
district.

Did you know Charlie was born and raised in the big city of Trinity? And
speaking of Trinity I'm wondering if Huntsville and Walker County was still dry
when you was there?

I be hanging, buddy. It helps to be back home with folks that speak the
language. And don't let me forget to remind you to send me something in a
couple of weeks. Thanks.

Bill Clarke

I did not realize that Charlie's district included your environs. And oncet
the GOP gets done with their current remaking of the political map, there
ain't no telling about what districts are where. My own district will run
from Austin to the Mexican border, a distance of about two hundred miles,
and at its narrowest is about a mile wide. You oughta see that sumbitch
laid out on a map; looks a little like an anaconda with a real slim gut and
a bulge at each end.

Indeed you are correct. He is in a long line of Texas politicos--and
Louisiana politicos, for that matter--of populist screwballs. In the long
run I reckon they did more good than harm. But they did leave a certain
amount of wreckage in their wakes.

I had heard of Charlie's Trinity upbringing, but forgot it until you
reminded me.

And yes, Huntsville and Walker County were indeed dry when I got there in
1967, although towards 1972 or thereabouts they came to their senses. We
used to take that drive north on TX Hwy 19 to get a case or two of a certain
high and mighty beverage, about once a week. I still have some Jim Beam
china decanters I got back then, which my children are sure are worth a
fortune these days. They ain't. But the contents were priceless.

Trinity County was wet, and was surrounded by dry counties as far as the eye
or speedometer could see. Package stores were a cottage industry in that
town. I wish I could recall the name of the BBQ and beer joint on the left
side of the road, just before you hit town. We used to hit that place at
least once a week, after a round of golf at SHSU's country campus. Do you
recall that little number, just north of Huntsville? WWII barracks
buildings, which once upon a time had housed German POWs, and in later years
were married housing for agricultural grad students.

You'd best be, or somebody'll be hollering for you to grab pooch. (Miss
Rita, don't ask. I couldn't possibly elaborate.)

Oh yeah, even had a Polk County boy on his staff and had a woman here that did
not much but campaign for Charlie by taking care of the old folks here in the
county.

I hope Tom DeLay, that fearless warrior, and Rick Perry have to eat shit over
this power grab. Rural Texas has pretty much lost what little voice it had.
God help school funding with these dickheads running things.

I know the place but can't remember the name either. Bell's Camp is still
standing last I heard but Randy's Wreak has been long gone.

From your own practical experience, would you please describe what the
"proper position" was/is?

If you get what you want, what's to stop you
from asking for more?
