"He may have been born in the south, but he is no southerner...."
Amen to that! And the same for Bubba Klintoon!
OTOH, while I wasn't born in the South; my paternal side has deep roots here and I've spent most of my life here. So even though I have a Yankee accent I DO think of myself - and am proud to be - a Southerner!
