The “push” heard across the Bayou.
“The Cajun Prince”.
However you want to describe it, early Thursday morning,
Trina Edwards popped out a son for former Governor and Convicted Felon Edwin
Edwards.
On Facebook (you were expecting somewhere else?), Trina
Scott Edwards posted:
“Everyone except me is getting to sleep. It’s ok though. I’d
rather just lay here and stare at my little Cajun prince!!”
Little Eli Wallace Edwards (yes, another EWE), weighed in at
6lbs., 3oz., and 19”.
Look it’s great that Edwin still has heterosexual desires
after spending years in prison, but didn’t anyone consider that the original
EWE is 85 years old (86 next week)? He surely will not be out there coaching
little EWE’s Little League team or giving him soccer pointers. Is that fair?
Having a child shouldn’t be about YOUR ego and extending
YOUR legacy especially when you’re already saddling him with the dubious
reputations of both parents.Of course, I'm not a politician, an ex-con or a parent so, what do I know?
But, I can only imagine the schoolyard conversation:
JOHNNY: My parents were high-school sweethearts. How did
your parents meet Eli?
ELI: My mom visited my dad in prison.
But, hey, I’m sure the Cajun Royal Birthing made for
riveting Television and when “The Governor’s Wife” finally does air, I’m sure
it will have mega-ratings in Louisiana.
In Edwin Edwards’ warped mind, it’s all about him anyway so
life is good.
And, when you look at it through EWE’s eyes, who am I to
judge?
