Ursus,
That is a great reply. When you live in a red state, like me, you sit around and make anit-Palin shirts for fun not profit. Sad but true. I can only tell you, I don't have an accent like Bush, and Bush might have an accent like Bush. He is as Yankee as they come. I am the real deal (Houstonian). Go figure that out. I vote Blue, he votes Red, or can he read to vote red. Now i am confused.

Yea. He's a yankee. His family's old Connecticut $. He's basically royalty: his family has been the govt. for generations, passed rulings that quadrupled their fortunes and land-holdings, dipped liberally into state coffers, and continue their dynastic reign through-out the country through various offspring.
Yet, he passes himself off as a folksy, Texan, regular guy. Regular guys don't get to ditch the draft, ditch reporting for duty even for the N.G, be admitted to Yale as a lagacy despite horrible grades, and have their DUI's, cocaine pocessions, and assault charges dismissed and records erased.
If you notice, his "accent" fades in and out. And his southern impression is BAD. He sounds more like he has a speech impediment than accent.
