I think it was Sen. Fogbound. Foghorn Leghorn was the huge rooster in the cartoon who befriended the baby chicken hawk. Senator Fogbound is an accurate nickname for Mistah Jawn, for sure.

Found the info:

Senator Phogbound:

Pot-bellied Jack S. Phogbound was satirist Al Capp's skewed archetype of a filibustering southern politician. Senator Phogbound was a corrupt, conspiratorial blowhard, who often wore a coonskin cap and carried a ramrod rifle to show his constituents he remained a trustworthy good ol' boy.
Phogbound seemed to spend a disproportionate amount of his time campaigning or passing through Dogpatch, which made sense from a plot standpoint, but where, it can be assumed, no one ever voted.

Sounds like our man, doesn't it?
