I mean sure, we had POS Bill Clinton. He imposed Hillary on us, and boy did we hear about the Arkansas garden party ladies who hated that bitch.

Plus they had people murdered and stuff, but at least Bill didn't imprison us (Hillary probably would have if they could have gotten away with it I suppose)

Bobby Jindal was a good guy. How do you go from Jindal to fricking Adolf Stalin Josef Hitler?

Am I overreacting?

Lester Maddox and George Wallace have to be happy they are going up in people’s estimation without doing a thing.

George Wallace was a hell of a Governor. He is still beloved in Alabama.

He’s terrible, sure, but I’m not sure he cracks the top 5 worst just in Louisiana.

Don't like JBE at all, but he is not even the worst governor in the history of Louisiana much less the entire south.

Pa Ferguson in Texas is the only governor of our state to be impeached and removed from office. He was so corrupt we changed the laws on pardons as a result.

Did he really say 'people need to worry less about their rights and more about doing the right thing'?

Edwin Edwards would have the state on total lockdown and requesting access to bank accounts

Huey P Long
Edwin Edwards
Kathleen Blanco

Those are three off the top of my head. I am sure there are more. Hell, HPL governed as a dictator when there was no pandemic.

With HPL you at least have to take the good with the bad. Yes he was a tyrannical dictator but he did do some good for the state.

I don't know if he should be looped in with Blanco and Edwin though.

you're confusing corruption and tyranny


Edwin Edwards was corrupt - that's Louisiana
