美國政客HUEY LONG 講的一個笑話

ＨＵＥＹ　LONG 的競選對手，為表示自己出身貧寒，靠個人奮鬥成功，說， 從小上學時候沒有鞋穿。

HUEY ＬＯＮＧ說，我比你還慘，我出生的時候就沒有鞋穿。

When Riley Joe Wilson stated in a speech that he had gone barefoot as a child, Huey Long countered in one of his speeches, "I can go Mr. Wilso one better. I was born barefoot."

ＨＵＥＹ　LONG有一段很感人的講演，後來被包括在他的自傳裏。

This oak is an immortal spot, made so by Longfellow's poem, but Evangeline is not the only one who has waited here in disappointment …

Where are the schools that you have waited for your children to have, that never come? Where are the roads and highways that you send your money to build, that are no nearer now than ever before? Where are the institutions to care for the sick and disabled? Evangeline wept bitter tears in her disappointment, but it only lasted throughout one lifetime. Your tears in this country, around this oak, have lasted for generations. Give me the chance to dry the eyes of those who still weep here.
