Over the years I always tried to get political names related to the 9/11 attacks. Some successfully and some not. One name I've always either missed or failed on in the past is Andy Card, who was White House Chief of Staff under Bush Jr from 2001 to 2006. He was the one who informed Bush about the attacks in what is probably the most iconic photo of the 9/11 attacks that is not a burning building. This is the image I'm referring to:
But I finally got another flight on him and would try for him again for the first time in years. The bad thing is he was with his wife who traditionally tries to shut down any graphers. This time she was hardly a factor. Maybe she is getting old? But I got a perfect shot and some autographs. Success! To boot he writes the entire quote he uttered to Bush Jr when he signs the famous image.
Later in the day I decided to try again for Victor Willis of the Village People at the airport. As expected, he was his usual grumpy self barely doing photos and shooting down autographs even yelling at someone for asking. The photo op I got is a slight upgrade over my previous op so I guess I can't complain too much.
