Well said. I like the “Skunk Trot, Arkansas” touch.
The main thing is, the folks in Possum Trot would not have one-tenth of the trouble the national press has had, in figuring out that Bill Clinton is a cur dog who should not be trusted around anything female.
They probably could have figured out Eliot Spitzer as a pious fraud as well. Real people can spot phonies who thump the tub too much for their own claimed "virtue."
Besides, I live by choice in a small town (population 1,000 in the winter) called Highlands, NC. It could just as well be named Possum Trot. So, yes, I do resent Ann's cheap shot with her invented name.

It's an insult. To Arkansans, and to Skunks.
