It's easy to see how some people get elected no matter what their politics may be. I sure never voted for him and was embarrassed by him when he was the minority whip, doing the party's dirty work (Anita Hill for example), but he spoke at our high school graduation and —maybe it was the cussing— had us all laughing. I went to a town hall at the Eagles one time and by that time he had an entourage of hecklers that followed him from town to town, not even Wyoming residents. He destroyed them and really the room went silent because it was such a thorough beating. Al told the audience, "ah don't worry. We're like Tom & Jerry*: they'll be at tomorrow's event ready to do it all again and I'll give it to 'em again." 

*Or Itchy and Scratchy, sure.

I only had one chance encounter with him at hiccup's college graduation over 30 years ago. He sat in the grass and shot the shit with us for 15 minutes and it was one of the most entertaining conversations I've ever had.


Edit: I have a COMPLETELY inappropriate story about his daughter in law, though. Definitely for another time.

If he met you once, you were a lifelong friend. His daughter has the same —freakish— ability to remember names and family situations years or decades later as though you had just had coffee with her yesterday.

Saw Joey and Denny Laine and Christopher Cross with Todd and his team in good old Lake Charles LA a few years ago doing Revolver and a few other things. Everyone got their hit in, and would’ve done more except for the need to wrap it by 10p (casino curfew).
