I had an interesting interview with Duval Co. GOP chairman John Falconetti today. Very nice guy. Excited about his job, which is always nice to see.
We run down his vision for the party, the breaking of Republican ranks over Amendment 1, RNC punishment of Florida and his predictions for the races. It's a good interview. It will be posted unedited soon. Please check it out.
But I have to admit that it is occasionally distracting when you talk to him because you can't help think about the fact that he is married to someone Leroy Neiman has painted. (Falconetti is married to Olympic gold medal gymnast Shannon Miller.) Growing up, only the greatest most Wide World of Sportiest athletes were painted by Neiman and his ridiculously awesome mustache - Ali, Johnny Bench, the US Lake Placid Hockey Team, Frazier-Foreman...etc.
Driving away from the interview I was also saddened for a moment realizing that I have pretty much missed my shot at doing anything for which I will be painted by Leroy Neiman. Unless you think he's interested in capturing an exceptional Wii bowler.
