Brian Klock is a guy we’d love to see come to Washington: The Republican congressional candi-
date from Texas is no stranger to publicity stunts.
Earlier this month — two days before he announced, no less — Klock declared he’d sub-
sist on nothing but military-style MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat) between now and the March 4 pri-
mary.

But he wasn’t done. On Thursday, Klock, who is a former naval counterintelligence/counterter-
rorism officer , decided that he wanted to get into movie criticism, issuing a lengthy review,
via news release, of the new Tom Hanks film, “Charlie Wilson’s War .”
Klock, who is running for the right to face Democrat Nick Lampson in the fall, gave it a
“thumbs up.”
He did criticize the film, however , for its unrealistic depiction of embassy chain of command,
and its depictions of aircraft shoot-downs (these military guys are always so literal).
On second thought, maybe we don’t need any more critics — or publicity hounds — in D.C.
