Frank X. Mullen as Huey Long, Great Basin Chautauqua, 2005. Nevada Humanities. Mullen will portray Gen. U.S. Grant at the Nevada Humanities Chautauqua in Reno on June 25, 2008.
Well, if he won the election, he'd find it mighty difficult to serve, in light of him being dead & buried since the late 1930's. Though in that state maybe he'd do a better job than some of the do-nothings we have right now in Washington!
Do they re-create Long's assination during this performance (pretend, of course)? I've read that Long may have been actually done in by a bullet from one of his own bodyguards, who panicked & shot off a huge amount of rounds inside the LA state capitol bldg (Long could have easily been hit by a ricochet bullet). Love him or hate him, the late Huey Long was truly a one of a kind character! THANKS for posting this fasciating footage! :-)
Yeah he got stuff done at the expense of putting Louisiana in hopeless debt, added over 40 new taxes, ruining business and adding new laws that resulted in mass layoffs. He also purposely had roads built poorly. He also brought in marshal law, destroy printing presses, limited free speech, used military force at every whim. He was a dictator and by reading the comments here and elsewhere, I am sadden to see America looks ready for a dictator because they at least would get stuff done. AAAHHHHHH
