One of my wife’s Facebook friends posted yesterday a photo of herself meeting former Louisiana Gov. Edwin W. Edwards this week. She says she told the old tomcat that she just had to say hello, because he met her mother ages ago, when she was the Farm Bureau Queen.

Edwin supposedly quipped, “Then I’m probably your daddy. Don’t tell your mama I said that!”

He’s 86 years old, and he’s still got it!

UPDATE: EWE’s greatest hits. Excerpt:

  • On his sex drive, 2012: “I don’t need Viagra…Viagra needs me. Doesn’t the Times-Picayune know they use my blood to make that stuff?”
  • On his new wife, Trina, who is 51 years his junior: “I learned something good to use Republicans for: sleep with them.”
  • On whether it is fair to call him a womanizer: “I ride horses when I go to my ranch. That doesn’t make me a cowboy.”
