The “skonsin” accent is the most irritating, grating and boring accent this side of Boston or the Bronx.

I recall many FReepers complaining about Sarah Palin's accent. Her liking country music also bothered some. Generally, one would label such complaints as "shallow".

Content trumps "accent"...

Let me help you out here.....for a TALK SHOW HOST - how you sound is NOT shallow. It’s key.

For Belling, he’s okay, but nothing special, so the accent aggravation is not worth it. There’s a reason ZIP ZERO NADA national ad campaigns feature a “skonsin” accent. It’s very unpopular around the country.

Belling has a horrible one - about 20X as sharp as Governor Walkers - and 20X as sharp as Vicki McKenna, a Madison talk show host who is a friend of mine and who has a delightful voice.

Also, I would not listen to Palin as a talk show host.......either......altho I will go hear her at a rally or give a speech - and I am a big supporter of her part on the national stage.

Try again. You just suffered major analogy FAIL!!!!!
