On August 22, 1933 Senator Huey Long had a little too much to drink and, finding all the washroom stalls taken, peed (accidentally?) on another man’s leg. That man swung a punch at Long and gave him a shiner that he couldn’t hide. Though the man was never identified, he made many of Long’s objectors, such as author Owen P. White, happy. Two years after this incident Huey Long, who had just announced his bid for presidency, was assassinated at the State Capitol. The Klamath News, Oregon, September 26, 1933
