Who remembers "Warren J "Puggy" Moity" who ran for office in South Louisiana for years back in the 70's? (1 Viewer)

I was in my early teens and this crazy guy really cracked me up.

Moity sure I wasn't alive yet.

Not me, I was either 3 or 4 when my family move to NOLA in 1973-ish. LOL, and 90 cents!

I was Puggy’s attorney for a while. I have all kinds of Puggy stories. Puggy was a skilled hatchet man. He was calling political opponents all sorts of colorful and insulting nicknames long before Trump. He used to call Governor Edwin Edwards, a frequent target of his, Edwin “silver zipper” Edwards because of Edward’s known wandering eye for women.

Puggy once showed up for a trial I was doing for him with cowboy boots with the outline of the state of Louisiana embroidered in gold on them.

Puggy’s late night commercials sitting in his swivel chair ranting on his opponents were much watch tv back in the day.

Lol! Interesting stuff. When Trump was campaigning I often thought of Puggy. As a young teen I had no interest in politics, but the guy was so audacious and seemingly off-of-his rocker that I found his purchased political spots to be quality entertainment.
