Oh yeah! The Louisiana state senator, district 36. And it was in 1988.

Democrat of course.

I wonder why I associate Edwards with the accident?

Louisiana politics is a gator pit.

Yeah. My dad was stationed at Barksdale, btw. He retired in 1974. I still live in Shreveport.

I vaguely remember in the 1970s Edwards received a $100,000 bribe and actually put it on his income tax. The state then had nothing on which to prosecute the case. Only in Louisiana.

wheresgeorge.com is very cool, in a nerdy kind of way. I've used it for a couple of years, now.

Maybe because his life and his politics were a train wreck waiting to happen.
