Hilarious! I'll have to hunt up the list of Southern phrases. If someone else has a copy, please post.

She was in Selma. She would have to be a 'Bama State or 'Skegee fan there.

For some reason when I thought of Hillary, the "Addams Family" theme kept pounding in my brain - with the words "Hillary [Forrest] Gump. After letting it rattle around in my brain a while, I came up with this as a first draft:

Hillary Gump
Hillary Gump
Hillary Gump, out on the stump, boy what a chump.

She's screechy and she's cheesy
her voice will make you queasy
Her 'Black like Me" schtick's sleazy,
It's standard Hillary!.

Hillary Gump
Hillary Gump
Hillary Gump, out on the stump, boy what a chump.

And when she puts that drawl on,
it starts your skin a crawlin'
Charisma ain't her callin'
It's standard Hillary!

Hillary Gump
Hillary Gump
Hillary Gump, out on the stump, boy what a chump.

the public's clearly seein'
right through the "Black Like Me"in'
No stiffer human bein's
alive than Hillary!

I checked out the bio of James Cleveland, the individual, whose lyrics Hillary decided to put a Southern drawl on. Funny thing about Mr. Cleveland, he was born in Chicago on December 5, 1931. He's known as the father of the modern gospel sound. One other thing that I discovered at the Wikipedia bio link for Cleveland was that he was gay, and apparently died in California from complications related to AIDS.

In the past Hillary's has had trouble keeping the historical facts of well-known women like Harriett Tubman and Soujourner Truth straight. How much longer is the black community going to accept her phoniness?

But aside from that, her voice is just UGLY. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Screechy, flat vowels, pushing, nasal . . . sort of a "how not to talk" lesson for everybody.

This is so true. It is hard for me to think that the American people will want to listen to even five minutes of a Hillary campaign speech. Her flat vowels (which AnAmericanMother notes) just grind upon one's ear. The screechy voice tonality also doesn't help things. I can't recall ever hearing such an irritating public speaker.

You kind of wonder why it never occurred to her to have taken speech lessons years ago if the Presidency was her ambition.

When I was a high school student I wanted so bad to be a radio announcer and accordingly I enrolled in every speech-related course in high school and college that I could find. All of them accented the "rounding" of the vowel sounds. Not hard to do with practice and the results are remarkable.

Again, I think that it goes hand in hand with her inability to sing. In other words, she has an ugly voice because she's tone deaf.

Singing is closely connected with good public speaking. I once recorded some radio PSAs for an organization I was involved in -- I had never recorded anything (other than choral singing of course), but I approached the mike as though I were singing - good deep breathing, round tones, steady pacing, enunciation.

I got away in one take. The engineer asked if I was in radio.

Let's face it: Hitlery can mess up everything she does. And I'm really hoping she messes up her campain so badly that she's laughed out of the running.

That's her partner at HotAir.com - Bryan Preston.

This is hilarious! (Note: You have to suffer thru a few minutes of Hillary before you get to Michelle)

She is tone deaf. When she was caught singing the Star Spangled Banner on an open mike it was clear that she is completely tone deaf. So, it isn't surprising that she doesn't do accents well.

But . . . when they were trying to rehabilitate Bubba back around the time of the whole Monica thing, didn't they sing in the choir at that church they went to? Or was that just Bubba? Or did they tell her just to move her lips?

I heard it too.

Not in a ten gallon bucket with both hands and a lid. She must have cloth ears.
