摘要

In the crude and easy-going manner that used to pass as folksy among elected politicians in America's deep South, Edwin Edwards liked to say that he would lose office only if found in bed with "a dead girl or a live boy". Mr Edwards served four terms as governor of Louisiana between 1972 and 1996, but it was gambling, not under-age sex, that finished him. He is now facing a lengthy term in federal prison, a virtual life sentence, his lawyers argue, since their client is 73 years old.
