Bush's accent

[erpowers]

Did anyone else notice that Bush lost his accent when talking about North Korea? I was watching Keith Olbermann last night and Olbermann pointed out that Bush lost his accent when talking about North Korea. After seeing his show I wanted to see that part of the press conference. This morning I had a chance to see that part of the press conference on the Today Show. In fact it did seem to me that Bush lost his Southern/Texas accent. Was I just influenced by Keith Olberman, or did Bush actually lose his accent for a short period of time? I really thought I noticed that Bush's voice had changed. What do others think?

1. Although I hate listening to him, on more than one occassion I've heard Shrub

utter words using a broad New England "a".

2. What did you expect from the Connecticut Cowboy?

His accent is phonier than rhinestone jewelry.

3. Meh. I look forward when Bush takes his act and accents back to Crawford.

11. Dallas or Houston

He's not even going to bother pretending, once he leaves office. The so-called ranch will be sold, and he and his Stepford wife will live in the big city.

4. Everything about this "man" is phony and fake.

I've never seen anything like it. Fake accent, fake ranch, fake policies, fake "progress" in Iraq, phony economy, phony election victories. And the biggest fakery of all is his pretense to be an "American president" while in fact being neither.

5. Fake Yale degree, fake military career...n/t

9. The best president for the rich - facilitated getting dollars our of the country

and making sure corporations had a wide free unemcumbered path and didn't have to account to the American people.

Not held to account - litigaition free - that's what Norquist calls 'little government'.

Conducting elimination of protesting and voicing opinions. Military brass given go ahead to torture. Outsourcing king. Controlled courts. Political D of Justice. Played a crap the dollar game. And made enemies everywhere. Could be referred to as 'president privatization' - my fellow suckers, let me speak to you tonight about how I screwed you today.

6. Yes, he definitely did lose it.....

Proof positive that he's some kind of "Men in Black"-type alien, wearing the skin of dumbass from Texas.

7. He has the accent of

a northeastern preppie who's had too much to drink while blasting pseudo "southern rock" in the BMW

8. I guess * got so excited for a minute that he forgot he was J.R. Ewing.

10. People have pointed that out for the last 10 years

they only time he puts on that Texas drawl is when he is trying to persuade people that he is a good old boy, and he wants their support. If you listen to all his speeches and ramblings you can catch it all the time. Don't watch the picture just listen, you can tell the difference that way. I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO SEE OR LISTEN TO HIM THO.
