Ever wonder why Dubya speaks with a southern drawl.....

[ClusterFreak]

....albeit a 'faux' drawl I would argue....and his brother Jeb does not? Jeb sounds very middle America. I don't know about Marvin or Neil.

1. He's a Conneticut Cowboy faking a Texas accent to get the

good ol' boy vote.

[Benhurst]

2. Doesn't everybody from

Connecticut talk that way?

[Botany]

3. Because when he lost in his run for congress

his opposition out "Good Old Boy ed" him. After that * promised to
never be out "Good Old Boy ed."

And his country accent was born. The stupid is not an act.

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Agreed.. esp about the stupid bit.

[flakey_foont]

6. Stupid is as stupid does

[etherealtruth]

7. "The stupid is not an act "

So true ...I can't even laugh about it!

[mattclearing]

5. Yeah, he's a New Englander.

Once again, I don't understand how Kerry went through an entire election cycle without saying he's "all hat and no cattle."

That line was an election winner.

[tibbiit]

8. another glaring way telling what a fake asshat he is

Is the idea that ANYONE in Texas would go out in the middle of August and cut brush. People dont go far from Air Con in texas, much less go outside to do physical work!

On top of that, he is a Rich White Guy. Rich White guys for sure dont cut brush in August heat, they pay peons to do that for them.

13. And another thing...

He's be cutting that fucking brush for five goddam years! When's he going to be done with it and move on to something else?! I grew up on a farm, and if it took me five years to get a job done, my dad would have whooped my ass something fierce!

[emulatorloo]

9. I am a native born Texan and his "accent" is B I Z A R R E

it is just weird. . .there is nothing authentic about it.

[maxsolomon]

10. there is no such thing as "unnatural"

a narcissist has the ability to believe his own lies. he's talked that in that studied manner so long that it really is his accent.

& OJ really believes he didn't kill his wife.

[Not_Giving_Up]

11. I'm a Native Texan

I don't know ANYONE who sounds like him. He does it for the folksy image. See? He's a man of the people, just a regular guy. No, he's a dumbass who can't pronounce half of the words that are put in front of him.

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. I don't know of any Texan who has **'s accent.

My husband, his family are all native Texans and they don't have his faux accent, in fact they don't have much of an accent at all. ** is just one GIANT phony, phony christian phony rancher/cowboy. And millions in this Country fell for it.

[mcar]

14. I have been saying this for years

I'm in Florida. When junior was running against Gore, I kept asking people "why does one brother have a southern accent and the other doesn't? Weren't they raised by the same parents in the same home?"

*'s accent is fake, fake, fake. Just like his stage set of a "ranch" and sham of a presidency.

[Lisa]

15. even trained actors have trouble with that accent ...

They study real regional accents in theater classes, and Bush doesn't match up! Timothy Bottoms (who's played Texans before) said in an interview that he had to listen to tapes of Bush, because he didn't fit the known patterns. And that Bush impersonator from Missouri said he just gave up and pretended like he had "marbles in the mouth" to sound like Dubya.
