Ok.
I met this guy at a Borders bookstore...very near the time that Brigadier Rossaroni and I met Mark Bowden. That was the time that Brigadier Rossaroni made Mark Bowden write the great line in his copy of Blackhawk Down. (I think Mark Bowden wrote in my copy "Please, stay away from me and my family.")
Who is this guy you ask? Why its Charles T. Cannady...Only a minor member of Congress at the time who was part of the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton back whenever the hell that was going on in 199dickitysomething.
My brush with greatness was stopping him and asking if he was Charles Cannady and he had a look in his eyes that Brigadier Rossaroni described as similar to the look in Joe Pesci's face just as he realized he's not about to become a "made guy". That face looked like this minus 1 second.
Now why do you suppose he'd have that look on his face? He's in the middle of an impeachment proceeding against a sitting president. Some oafish white guy and another oafish guy come up to him and call him out by name. Could this be the Vince Foster treatment? Or, am I some crazed supporter of the President or a whacko who wants to curry favor with Jodie Foster or something?Well, all I did is tell the guy that he should keep fighting the good fight. I could tell from the look on his face that he was relieved that I wasn't about to stab him. He seemed really distressed though. Like he wanted nothing to do with the whole fracas.
I understand that this dude is a Judge in Florida now. Hmmm....that would put him in a position to do Judge stuff in a state that seems to have a lot of politcal intrigue...wouldn't it?
