But Louisiana, a gift from God if not from the devil, is not most states. And so the federal corruption trial of former Governor Edwin Edwards is a delicious feast not just for the fly-on-the-wall look at the latest great rogue in American politics, but also because even if he's guilty, many Louisianans are pulling...
