Bush talks like a freaking hillbilly, I thought all these guys went to a speech class, like news anchorpeople.

Kerry pretends to be Irish when he's up in Boston.

I wonder if he does the same with his accent, to fool all the Irish people in Boston into voting for him by pretending to be one of them.

Maybe I will add that as a poll option.

You should hear the way they talk in Cleveland! Er, oops, I'm from that neck of the woods!!! :)

I love our many accents. Too bad we're losing them.

Don't we have some Valley Girls here? Bwuahahahahaha! (Rip, are you there?)

I couldn't vote. You didn't have "Kerry left his accent the same place Bush left his" as an option.

Bush is a patrician cowboy. That's why all he does on that silly ranch of his is clear brush. He can't ride. Can't rope. Can't shoot. Can't cook. What the hell kind of cowboy is he?

You might study up on Mr. Bush. He went to Andover Academy. He went to Yale. Look at a map to find out where those schools are, then you will know where Mr. Bush grew up.
The whole Texas Idiot image is laughable when one considers Mr. Bush's background. He surely must have fallen and struck his head on something hard. Hey, you and Mr. Bush have something in common, Garuda.

Bush was born in Connecticut, but grew up in Texas. By the time your 18, your accent is usually fixed and doesn't change. There were a number of Southerners I knew at Cornell, whose accents did not change in the 4 years I knew them.

Bush speaks the way I would expect someone who grew up in and spent most of his adult life in Texas to talk.

You are either lying or ignorant. Check your facts. NOT the "facts" on the Whitehouse Website either. BUSH went to High School In MASSACHUSETTS. THEN HE WENT TO COLLEGE IN CONNECTICUT. Hello? Are you stupid or just drunk.
Despite the top-notch schools, Bush obviously was AWOL even at that time since he speaks like I would expect an imbecilic moron to speak.
That is all.

If Bush's accent was fixed by the time he was 18 he would be speaking with a high brow New England accent. That's where he spent his first eighteen years, in fancy pants prep schools, before he decided to become Roy Rogers.

Or did he want to be a jet fighter pilot (who was afraid to fly)? Or a big Texas oil man (who couldn't find oil in the Permian basin in Texas)? Or a big league baseball team owner (who stole public lands and public funds for his stadium)?

All exactly correct, except for the unfortunate trashing of Roy Rogers. ;)

besides, growing up in Mass doesn't automatically mean you have a thick Bostonian accent.

I grew up in NYC, and aside from saying cawfee, my accent is 100% generic. no regional assosiations whatsoever.
