I just had a cup of coffee and great conversation with former Governor Sebelius. Anyone have encounters with politicians to share?

I've never told anyone this before, but I was once walking directly behind Jeb Bush and he opened a door, saw I was going the same way, and allowed me to go through first as he stood there holding the door open. That was WHILE he was governor.

Fmr Gov. John Carlin works at Kstate and I have encountered him a number of times. He is a charmer.

@chum and KK, I am not surprised by either of those gentlemen being affable and congenial.

A friend of mine bumped into Marco Rubio at a Des Moines coffee shop two months ago and his girlfriends first response was to say "wow you really are short".

Brad Ashford emails me constantly despite me not belonging to his party or ever signing up for any type of political email list and requesting to be unsubscribed about 50 times.

Shook hands with Mitt Romney at a Ramona, CA, 7-11 store last year. He and his boys were on there way to the desert to go dirt biking. They were in a rental RV towing their motorcycles.

I was lucky enough to attend her inauguration and dinner and reception. It was a pleasure to meet her then and to run into her again today.
I also attended the college World Series years ago and sat with then- Governor Finney.

Yay Kansas

She seems like a flat out horrible person. Judging from her twitter, and her vote and meeting absence from her previous gig, all she seems to do in washington is tweet a bunch of my team/your team bullshit. I don't think she does any actual governing.

Sounds like a typical representative.
