Have you been paying attention to Dubya's accent lately?
It seems to me that each time I have seen him over the past few weeks, his "Texas" accent has become more and more pronounced.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I heard part of his speech from an Arizona campaign stop yesterday and the accent was so thick you could cut it with a knife. And last week in the debate, he kept dropping in more and more colloquialisms as he went along.

(If this keeps up, by the election he'll sound like the mumbling neighbor on "King of the Hill".)

Is this just me? Has anyone else noticed this??

1. I thought the same thing yesterday
I probably heard a cut from the same speech and thought he was really pouring it on kind of thick.

3. His brain is degenerating probably.
Or what's left of it. I've heard that he was a much better speaker back in 2000 (and I've seen examples of it and agree). He's slipping.

10. I always love that suggestion
...Considering dumbshitya calls himself a "former" alcoholic.

We of course know he's also a "former" drug addict.

Wouldn't the constant "I'd like to sit and have a beer with him" line we keep hearing from repukes be akin to taking a box of krispy kremes to a weight watchers meeting?

8. He uses the fake Texas accent when he campaigns in the South
The rest of the time he drops it. We had bets on whether he'd have an accent when he spoke at the UN, and of course he did not. He's a lying phony POS.

11. President Boomhauer
be careful making fun of Boomhauer... he'd make a better President than Chimpy. I'd rather have some one I can't understand than someone I can't stand. :)

12. Yep. His accent was missing when he spoke to the UN a few weeks ago
I still think it's funny people believe the bull when his siblings and parents don't speak with a Texas twang. All hat and no cattle.

14. I've noticed it too. Yet when he was in the Rose Garden a couple of
weeks ago, it had almost disappeared. It's a put-on for show and quite frightening.

15. I've always wondered...
How come * is the only member of the Bush family with a Texas drawl?

Jebby doesn't have one. Poppy doesn't have one. Babs doesn't. Hmmm...

19. I certainly have noticed it
and even commented to my husband about it. Why does gee dubya have that gosh awful accent and Jebbie doesn't have a Texas accent at all? The answer is because georgie's accent is phony!! He is so friggen immature!!!
