HazzardNet officially does not get into political stuff. Just so ya know. I can tell ya that if we did, the first thing that would happen is MeadowMufn and I would probably be in a Boar's Nest-style fight.

That said in disclaimer, this article features Ben Jones and some insights into his past political career. Gotta hand it to Ben on some of his down-home tactics:

Again, HNet doesn't officially endorse one party or the other or any candidate or anything anywhere. This article is shared for Dukes of Hazzard related purposes as it applies to a cast member. 'Nuff said.

Khee...the bloodhounds were a nice touch, tho'. Bahahaha!

I do not like politicians, but yes Mr. Ben Jones aka Cooter!

Ben Jones is the best.

Larry the Cable Guy does a series on the History Channel where he visits spots in America and today Ben Jones was on talking about his days in politics. It was a rerun but still, every time I see a Dukes star on television when I wasn't expecting to, I get a huge smile on my face like I'm seeing a family member.

We saw that too. We weren't expecting him ether. When he came on, my dad was like "Hey." or something like that but I think it's really cool to see.
