There are few things in this life that annoy me more than someone (especially a politician) doing a fake southern accent.

About the only thing more annoying than that is someone trying to fake a Texas accent..........

“fake a Texas accent”

Makes me want to dip snuff and run rabbits.

Texas accent....that’s something I’ve always had trouble with. No disrepect, I have scads of deep south Georgia relatives that have accents that would shame the posers in Driving Miss Daisy, but I’m clueless on the Texas differences...Can you elaborate? Thanks.

When I’m trying to remember a Texas accent, I just imagine Joe Bob Briggs, Tommy Lee Jones and that guy from Slingblade, (also has three names, Billy Bob Thornton?) all having a conversation about the band Tres Hombres.
I imagine Mitt sounded something like: “Good morning .. you-all” (beep beep beep) .....

No one can fake the Texas accent, (I know, I am one), but to try is just foolish.

But then, that about sums up Mittens. Southerners don't hanker to Yankee phony baloney.

Speaking of phony: Fox is still showing over and over the so called 3 way debate of last week. The man crying over his son, and ROMENY getting to opportunity to show just how caring he is. Made me sick. I say that was a SET UP deluxe, and giving Romney plenty of air time (sympathy vote), look how caring he is, boo hoo.

That man never mentioned anything like this for NEWT to respond. Only Romney and Santorum. With NEWT he was very composed.

Huckabee that was a very phony set up for your guys.

I inwardly cringe when someone tries to imitate our speech. I think to myself: "Has this person ever heard a Southerner speak, including me?"
