LSU Fans: Is Billy Cannon a Recluse?

quote:

However, I also think gambling, corruption and shady dealings are a part of the Louisiana fabric so I would think this it would be the one place that embraced him with open arms. No offense of course to its citizens

Not so much now. In the past, officials would not be convicted. But in the last 2 decades, Edwin Edwards, Ray Nagin, and others were caught, sentenced and sent to prison.
To his credit, Edwards was a pretty decent Governor, and was voted in over David Duke, a previous KKK leader. which would have been more embarassing to Louisiana - similar to what George Wallace was for Alabama...
