I think it was marrying Elizabeth Taylor that did him in.<BR/><BR/>That reminds me of a funny story. Back in 1978, when Warner was first campaigning for the Senate in Virginia, Liz dropped by to address the first ever Star Trek convention in Roanoke (I know, I know, but, hey I was 15.)<BR/><BR/>At that time, Liz was still quite porcine and appeared to have consumed about five Manhattans before taking the stage. She appeared just absolutely <STRONG>THRILLED</STRONG> to be there and hailed all us "Trekkies." Bad idea. Even worse idea, they scheduled Liz to come on just before the much-anticipated "Star Trek Blooper Reel." <BR/><BR/>After much cat calling, Liz was hustled off the stage by the Senator's campaign staff.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080804561058476349noreply@blogger.com
