Nothing Like that Louisiana Politcs

And I mean nothing.

This is the state that elected Edwin Edwards, currently domiciled in a federal prison facility, who ran on this slogan: “Vote for the Crook.” Seems Edwards, who liked both women in abundance and to make a bet more often than not, chose a company to run a casino in New Orleans, after which he was named executor of the estate of the company”s principal. He was running against long time Klan leader, David Duke.

This is the state that elected demagogue Huey Long. That elected Huey’s brother Earl, who was cavorting about with famous stripper Blaze Starr. And chose Jimmie Davis as governor. His prime qualification for state office was that he wrote the tune, “You are My Sunshine.”

One of the state’s current U.S. senators is a fellow named David Vitter. He’s a family first, family values guy. At least he was. His name somehow popped up in the phone book of the D.C. Madam last year. How is it that stuff like this happens. Why can’t these guys walk what they talk.

So he’s fair game for a strong opponent.

And look who is looking to fill the bill.

Stormy Daniels.

Yes, fellows, that Stormy Daniels, the buxom gal whose porn DVDs you all have stashed in the garage.

Ms. Daniels is on a “listening” tour of the state these days, gauging what type of support she might receive should she kick her campaign into gear. She’s still developing her platform. Plus she’s got to reestablish her Louisiana residency.

Stay tuned, this could be fun.

Until then, all together now, let’s sing along with the Classics IV.
