He was a crook and a liar but difficult to dislike. He was a true populist in the mold of Huey Long. I was tempted to call him a true Louisiana Original, perhaps it is better to say he is what nearly every Louisiana politician (and many outside of Louisiana) aspire toward.
I have to admit: I figured if there was anybody in the world that might find a way to cheat death, Edwin Edwards would be that guy.
