LIEBOVICH THE HUMORIST

Mark Liebovich wrote in the Times that
Eddie Edwards bragged the only way he
could lose an up-coming election was to
be caught in bed with a dead woman or
a young boy. It was a popular gag line
in the 195o's and was credited to the
old Kingfish himself, Huey Long. Ed
wards and Long were colorful, but
troubled governors of Louisiana.

Whoever originated the creative scene
the saying depicts, it is significant Mark
Foley paid little attention to its
poignant wisdom.
