Ham ‘n Beans

Folks, being from the south, I love ham, beans, and cornbread as much as any southerner. However, this is just a bridge too far. I guess Hillary decided that she would bond better with the members of the church in Selma, Alabama, and the citizens of the US by default, if she could just sound like them. What a mistake. Her handlers had to be sweatin’ bullets when she launched into her talk. If her attempt at a southern drawl hadn’t been so pitiful, a fellow would almost have to laugh cry. The funny thing is, this is not the first time that Hillary has adopted a fake accent. A quick Google search turned up this bit of information:

But last week when I was on my Exercycle watching her give a speech at the Ann Richards memorial service in Austin, I had to turn off my TV at least four times. Hillary was doing something that just shouldn’t be done. It must not be done. It cannot be done.

She was trying to talk Texas.

At first I tried to tell myself it was only that Upper Midwest just-plain-folks thing where you drop your terminal G’s to show that you don’t think you’re superior to the people you think you’re superior to.

She opened her remarks: “I was lookin’(no g) at those pictures, and I was thinkin’(no g), some people are so afraid of dyin’(no g) they never live, and some people are so afraid of failing (with a g) they never try.”

I was concerned at this point, because…well, first of all we’re doing this whole kind of lyrical country-western thing about, “So afraid of dyin’, your eyes was lyin’, who’s buyin’?” all that.

But worse, we’re only one long sentence into it, and already we’ve let three dropped G’s hit the floor like horseshoes. And then Hillary dropped the g-bomb. I nearly fell off my Exercycle. Well, that happens sometimes anyway when I get going too fast, but I can tell you I was genuinely shocked by what I heard her say next. She was talking about how Ann Richards used to talk to women:

“She’d tell ‘em they could,” Hillary said. “In fact they had to. There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it. You had to git up and git goin’ and just believe in yourself.”

Git.

Okay. Allright, all ready. We’ve had our fun at Hillary’s expense. Now…the serious part. Why on earth would someone that aspires to be the leader of the free world, attempt to pass herself off as something or someone, that she clearly, is not? Hillary is a lot of things…most of which I do not like. However, she is not dumb. Neither are her advisors. So why? Is it that she has so much disdain for the American public that she thought she could fool them into believing something that is clearly false? Does she believe that she is ten feet tall and bullet proof and can get away with saying or doing anything? Or, does she perhaps have some deep-seated desire to become a genteel lady of the South? Folks, I don’t have the answer. However, I do know that someone that would so brazen in their attempt to fool the public, has no business being the President.

Think about it.
