There is a lot about Hillary I don’t understand.

Well, in here defence she is from Arkansa, and you know the old saying…you can thake the girl out of the trailer park.….

(Just for the record I write this as one who lived in a trailer park while in colege, so I do under­stand that not all who live in a trailer park have fam­ily tress that are a straight line or are mas­ter chefs at cook­ing Meth)

Robert:
No, you’re right of course. It’s just a gen­er­al­iza­tion for fun, and hope­fully we all know enough to judge not the trailer denizens lest they judge us (or some­thing like that).

I know she lived in Arkansas for years, but her nat­ural accent says East Coast to me. Talk loud, flat­ten out the A’s, man­age to honk your way through most of the other vow­els — in that way, she’s an ideal New York sen­a­tor. Talks like she’s been hail­ing cabs all her life.

Car­rie:
I don’t know which both­ers me more, the times when I can’t fig­ure her out, or the times when I can.

In this case, she went to the Selma church to com­mem­o­rate a big civil rights event, and it was already news that she was there along with Obama. So of course the name of the game was to sound as “black” as pos­si­ble. (There’s tape of Obama sound­ing more, um, “coun­try” than I’ve ever heard him. But I couldn’t find it online.)

It’s really just pol­i­tics as usual, and I’m not say­ing that there aren’t oth­ers on both sides of the aisle that aren’t out there try­ing to be all things to all peo­ple. The prob­lems for Hillary are that:

1. She’s not very good at it. Bill could put on dif­fer­ent masks and peo­ple were will­ing to go along with it, because they just thought he had a frat boy charm (or some­thing. Don’t ask me — I never got it). But Hillary seems like some­one who is in deadly earnest and can’t really vary from her nat­ural slightly fero­cious seri­ous­ness. She has to at least attempt to show a lighter side and a more flex­i­ble side, but every time she does, she flops.
2. Unfor­tu­nately for her, it’s a much more trans­par­ent world than it was when Bill was in office. The Legacy Media still con­trol what most peo­ple will read in the paper, but there are many avenues now that can send out video, audio and show the world what these guys are up to. If you’re Hillary and you were hop­ing like mad to care­fully sculpt the impres­sion other peo­ple are get­ting of you, you’re kind of out of luck.

I had to lis­ten to your link — and that was not a woman from a bor­der south state (though some would argue that point), allow­ing the repressed accent from her youth well up and come on out.… that was sim­ply an act, and a poor one at that.

She would be bet­ter for her if she wouldn’t try that — it’s so very obvious.

Oh my gosh, I just re-read my post and with all my typo’s it clear to see that you can also take the boy out of the trailer park.….

I was in a hurry this morn­ing, in my EMS class we are now doing clin­i­cal and I got the oppor­tu­nity to do mine today at labor and deliv­ery. I was for­tu­nate to wit­ness a vagi­nal birth and a C-section. It was truly amaz­ing to get to look into a womb. Now granted the last time I was in one was 37 years ago, and even though this was a dif­fer­ent loca­tion I had one of those Deja Vu moments like I had been here before.

That is very, very funny. Hillary is a north sub­ur­ban Chicago girl — Park Ridge to be exact. I grad­u­ated from school the year she did and I assure you that we alls didn’t no way talk like she.
