We did this poll before.  Obviously corrupt, but nevertheless extremely difficult to dislike--one has to admire his sheer gall, colorfulness, and brazen candor, as well as his political skills.  I voted FF.

Because they prefer to not get convicted for their corruption?

He was *so* staggeringly corrupt that I had to go "neutral" on this one.

Still, anybody who could come up with the line "the only thing me and David Duke have in common is that we are both a wizard under the sheets" could never be an HP in a million years. Just for that Smiley

That line is truly one for the ages, that's for sure!  Absolutely priceless!

Corrupt, but he did the the right thing running against KKK leader David Duke in 1992.

A younger, much less corrupt Edwin Edwards would've been a great candidate against Trump. Truly a candidate you'd want to have a beer with.
