So...nobody's brought up the "live boy/dead girl" quote?

[trof]

OK, I'll do it.

Edwin Edwards, former governor of Louisiana once said "The only way I can lose an election in Louisiana is to get caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl."

8. My major problem is we are talking about teen aged boys

who are doing everything they can to be politicians. To be up there they had to suck up to the politician in their district. Not really the wholesome kids we like to think of.. We have an ethics rule at work about the e-mails and IM's. Just send a message back to the person telling them to stop and then delete the messages. You can get fired if you forward the message or don't do anything about it..

9. "VOTE FOR THE CROOK, ITS IMPORTANT" Edwards bumpersticker

In a gubernatorial race in Louisiana in the 90's. His opponent was "republican" and Ku Klux Klansmen David Duke.

10. I've seen a British writer add an embellishment to the end of the quote.

"...or a confused-looking sheep."

Cracked me up, I tell you...
