Wisdom such as this is sorely required in DC!

KERRY-LONG IN 2004!

1. Relation to:

A. Governor Earl Long (portrayed by Paul Newman in Blaze)?
B. Governor Hugh E. Long, the Kingfisher?

Just wondering.

ON EDIT: Never mind. Just googled. Same guy as "A" and brother of "B".

2. Long's dead

:-(

Do you mean Senator Russel Long?



Great guy veered to the populist like his dear old dad the late great Huey P Long or "The Kingfish" Governor then Senator for LA... before he was gunned down not long before the 1936 presidential election in which he might well have challenged FDR from the populist left... Huey was a radical and could be heavy handed and was not above a little corruption but he really did care about the folks in his state and throughout the United States, He took on the Big Oil and Rail companies who effectively ran LA and beat'em then he built roads, furnished schools with new equipment for the first time in decades, built bridges that finally spanned the Mississippi and massively reformed and modernized the State of Louisiana...

Rest in Peace "Kingfish"... in the words of that song "Oh Huey, all your friends, they say, they will miss you..."

3. Earl is dead?

IS THAT WHAT THEY TOLD YOU???

Uncle Earl was twice the populist he brother was....Huey was a dictator in the making, Earl was a populist...there is a difference.

KERRY-LONG IN 2004!
