He did it. Baptist, Dominionist, Mormon and now Jewish. He does need to hit the Catholics somewhere along the line.

****************************************************************

As his opponents charged, Huey Long never allowed the truth to stand in the way of a good story or his own political ambitions.

As recounted, by author Richard White, Huey spoke movingly of having awakened early during his childhood to hitch up the horse to the family wagon so he could take his Catholic grandparents to mass and returning home to take his Baptist grandparents to church.

When one awed supporter exclaimed he never knew Huey had a set of Catholic grandparents, Huey snapped, “Don’t be a damned fool. We didn’t even have a horse!”

Huey P. is much closer to DT than Jackson was.

It also did not end well for Huey either.
