Political cronies? Abuses? Like when your hubby was in some ten years ago?

Just goes to show, the "B-B-But CLINTON!!!" defense is valid sometimes. More often than not, the record continues to show.

Blimey, she's like a sort of a GELF from Red Dwarf but instead of a Pleasure GELF, she's a Pander GELF (and not a very good one at that).

She must've acquired that "fake" southern accent during the 18 years she lived in Arkansas.

When did it disappear? Why does it keep coming back intermittently?

So... is she making fun of people with dialects different from her natural one?

Subby puts too much faith in Fox News. If you watched the original "fake accent" clip it's obvious she was quoting a southern slave and used the accent for dramatics. In other words, she wasn't trying to fake out anyone, which is why the crowd she was talking to was applauding along.

I don't like Hillary but seriously, at least try to get the truth halfway right.

and as for using an accent in NYC. Well...you don't have to fool people who hear it every day from their neighbors...you just have to fool people who hear it every day from their country music radio station ;)

Wasn't the initial flap over her reading southern literature 'in character' or something, not trying to pander to a southern audience? IIRC, the majority of the speech was in regular ol' cringeworthy, condescending Hillary-speak.

I like how the neocons complain how Hillary's speech, but they said nothing for the last 8 years about President Stoopid, who also fakes his accent.

He was born in CT to blue-bloods and raised in expensive prep schools. None of his brothers have accents. He fakes his accent. Howcome you don't get indignant about that, cons?

davidlachnicht - Then link to a yoube video that demonstrates his "accent". He doesn't have one. He sounds just like his parents.

President Stoopid, however, fakes a Texas accent because it makes the mouth-breathers cream their shorts. They actually think he's one of them. They eat his shiat with a big spoon.

NEWSFLASH: it's a natural instinct for people alter their accents when they're talking to different crowds.

Try spending a few hours in Texas after coming from homeslice CT. You'll be speaking with a drawl in no time.

That plays well down here in Podunk, TX.

Hillary should know by now - in New York, LawnGuylandese is considered a southern accent.

Not much point in emulating that, since she's never going to get anywhere pandering to the cugine vote.

I don't think either has a fake accent, most people with accents don't notice they have an accent. Like I said previous, that it takes almost no time to start speaking with an accent and you don't even know it.

Woops, forgot to close my HTML tags.

So I'll repeat what I said for emphasis: FlashLV came in and made up a personal anecdote. Just like how he made up how he's too sick to go and fight in the Iraq war, which he defends to no end.

Making up personal fairy tales is the last bastion for the person defending the indefensible.

HA HA HA, you have so much wrong with this it's very comical.

When have I ever defended this war? I want our soldiers home yesterday. I think this war is a waste of time, money and soldiers. I also think we should pull out abruptly and not with a timeline.

How is my sister getting married and moving to Tennessee comical? Can anyone help me and answer how this is comical?

Give it up moops, you are digging a deeper hole for yourself.

all the candidates will say damn near anything, in anyway they can, if they think that it will help them get votes.
it's unbelievable.
as the election approaches, expect to see Hillary in camo hunting deer in Pennsylvania, eating grits in Alabama, etc. All the candidates will do the same.
reminds me of that scene in the movie, fall of the roman empire, where all the guys started bidding for the job as emperor.

I'm from South Jersey and after six months down south it took months for me to stop saying "y'all" and "we-all" and a few other things like that. I got my balls busted a lot for that when I came home.

Webster's definition of an anecdote:

Anecdote
Noun
1. Short account of an incident (especially a biographical one).

I guess I should have used this modifier:

Apocryphal
Adjective
1. Of questionable authenticity.

moops, lets not be dishonest here. I got the definition where you got it, I copied the whole thing, you know the part that makes you wrong.

There was nothing comical or interesting about it. You lose. Go home. No more comments till you take your prozac.
