Edwin Edwards Top Ten Films of the Week (1988)

Let's re-elect Eddie!!

this is how louisiana is able to break even when other states are in the red.

"Mee shell" Pfieffer at 1:09. Ironic that he reviews a fellow governor's (Ahhnuld Schwarzenegger) movie and fellow inmate (OJ Simpson) movie. Who would have known at the time?

I agree, though, this man has so much talent and could have been President if he weren't a crook. He would have been far better than pious Jimmy Carter in 1976and probably prevented Ronald Reagan from becoming an icon.

I must disagree. I often say that it took Bill Clinton to make Jimmy Carter look not so bad and Baracko to make Clinton not so bad. I'm Republican, too. But only a Democrat can be a Klansman and get elected. (Robert Byrd). There's no place in the GOP for David Duke or Robert Byrd. Duke wouldn't have changed things since his KKK past would have effectively made him a "neutered" governor.

A crook is a crook and the best crook is one that makes you believe that he will not steal from you.  Many fools in this world.

Yeah, Eddie Boy was as crooked as the come. The difference is that he he helped others and just decided to help himself a little bit too. Other crooks just help themselves under the guise of helping the people. He was wrong, but he wasn't terrible. By the way, voting in a former Grand Wizard of the KKK would have done far more damage than any thievery. Also, Duke recently was found to still have clan literature in his home. Would you want that as your governor? Very representative. Right.

Dirty Rotten Scoundral. How appropriate. But my grandmother loved the man. God rest her soul.

Well, the LA legislature voted themselves a 200%+ payraise and Jindal vowed not to veto it. As I said, with Edwin at least we knew we were getting a crook.
