If Boss Hogg and the Dukes were such enemies

hogg liked that arse, too.

If you were Boss would you hire Daisy????

I would.

Hoggsbreath was the only saloon in Hazard.

Little fat buddy had a heart of gold underneath that big ol’ belly. Kew kew kew.

Sorrell Booke, who played Boss, was born in New York and well educated. From his wiki: Booke enrolled in Columbia University at 16, and performed in Shakespearean plays in Columbia's drama club. He graduated from Columbia at 19 in 1949, and received a Master of Fine Arts at the Yale School of Drama.

He was the grand marshal at the Colfax Pecan Festival one year. Came in the white suit and stayed in character all day. Took the stage and went on a rant about those darned Duke boys. Best celebrity guest they ever had.

If I remember right, I read somewhere that he could speak quite a few languages as well.

Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg were friendly rivals as bootleggers in their younger days so I guess maybe there was still a sense of respect there or something to give Daisy a job; plus she was pretty easy on the eyes. There were a few episodes where the Dukes got Boss out of a bind. I think it was kind of a “He’s an a-hole bastard but he’s our a-hole bastard” situation.
