Dinner With Dick Gephardt

In the Detroit Wayne County airport Wednesday night, I walked into the Mediterranean Grill and sat down at the horseshoe shaped bar, ordered a Patron on the rocks, some grape leaves and Greek Salad, and then I noticed... I was sitting directly across the bar from Dick Gephardt. If it wasn't the 22nd Majority Leader of the US House of Representatives, it was his look-alike / body double. Eye brows were n0t as bushy as I'd seen caricatured previously. He had finished his dinner prior to my arrival and was sipping a white wine. I was tempted to ask him "so why did you sell out?" but I refrained... the bar was crowded, and he was busy talking on his cell phone.
