Im not the poster you were replying to, but I think it’s actually : “The only way i can lose this election is if they catch me in bed with a dead girl, or a live boy ,”

During his campaign for Congress my wife was waiting in the lobby of Ruth Chris when a gentleman comes in and says “ what would it take for me to get you to vote Democrat this election cycle?” She replies “How do you know I’m not already voting Democrat?” He responds “You are dressed nice with a LV purse under your arm! I know you are a Republican!”
She took the obligatory FB pic with him and went on about her business.

He and my dad used to go “dear” hunting back in the Marksville days probably before I was born in 77.
One night when I was high school, during the 90’s, I was going through a bunch of pictures my dad had. There was this awesome one of my dad, EWE, and another friend all on one knee, each with a shotgun in one hand and a couple dozen dead ducks laid out in front of them. I am pissed I didn’t pull that pic out and keep it. As over the years, it got lost. But, my dad can give some stories for sure with that guy. They were pretty close back in the day.
I do remember hearing about high stakes poker games in the governor’s mansion during his run as governor.

AGREED!
Home & Huey Long can suck it!
They set us back centuries, Huey P set the tone & Fast Eddie didn’t drop the ball
Or corruption, extortion and fraud. Some interesting stories, but when the dust settled, the La. Citizens are still paying the price of their crooked deals. Screw them pricks…:

Forgot this one, I went to Scotlandville Magnet high… in the 90’s when it was a magnet school. Graduated with a 3.6 in the honors engineering program. Didn’t get offered one scholarship. (Pre-TOPS). My dad called EWE, then EWE made a call to the board of supervisors… next thing I knew, I had a board of supervisors scholarship. He was democrat, but loyal to his friends for sure.
Well I hope you made good on the favor.

The man never drank a drink in his entire life. He was a control freak who didnt even do over the counter pain meds. Try again.
Long story short, my cousin lived in Shreveport at the time.. This was late 90s, maybe early 2000s. I was at his bachelor party which was at this older dude's house.. I just know he was a guitarist with some small band.. Anyway, he said that he was in a bar when Edwin Edwards went in, bought a round for the whole bar, but never took a sip.
I didn't really think about it, I just thought that maybe that night he wasn't drinking... But that's interesting, I didn't know he never took a drink in his life.

Heard a story about one of his security detail escorting him to the bathroom in the airport. Guy waited outside while he was in there. After several minutes he went in to check on him and he was nowhere to be seen. He looked under the stalls and didn't see anyone. As he started to panic, EWE walks out of one of the stalls. The guard asked him why he was standing on the toilet and EWE tells him he wasn't putting his arse on an airport toilet seat to take a shite so he stood on the seat and squatted like caveman.

Huey Long
I thought Huey Long brought education up to date at the time and was responsible for a lot of infrastructure that made it possible to get to places that was hard to get to before, which helped the economy in several areas throughout the state?

I'm told Candy had a lesbian affair with a family member's neighbor

My mom told me once that her and my stepdad were at a military ball and while walking around shaking hands, EWE stops at their table to chat. Mom said he grabbed something off of my stepdads' plate and ate it then walked away.
Once he made his way back to his own table, my stepdad went over and took something off of EWE's plate and ate it. Said they both laughed about it.
We also used to see him and Candy at Tin Lizzie's on Sunday nights in the summer.

My sister met him at a political event in Shreveport in the late 70’s. She had just gotten divorced. He told her that her ex was either gay or an idiot. Told her to come to Baton Rouge Monday and she had a job on his staff. ( or “ staff!) she should’ve gone…..

Apparently when I was a baby in 80s my parents were out to dinner with me in tow, and Edwards was working the room (believe it was an election year) and apparently sat down at my parents table and fed me crackers and shmoozed my parents for votes.

Thirty minutes after getting engaged, future wife (no pics) and I went to the movies. Went to see The perfect Storm. The theater was completely empty.
Except for Edwin Edwards and his wife, that walked in and sat right in front of us. He told us hello and sat down.
