On the news they talk about how George Bush can work a room better, make better contact with People...etc etc.
I like to think that it is *because* he is from Texas. We are just friendlier ;-)
But I do hate to see him made fun of, actually not just him, anyone from any area, because we all talk differently, and He is human after all, to me, he is Real. From the Sparkle in his eye to his stammering... He's Real, and Not just some "Stepford Candidate" Politicians have always been made fun of for mispelling words, or speaking as though Murphy Brown was a real person, but not everyone can pronounce every word correctly... I know i had trouble saying "Adirondack" the other day, and probably have misspelled it as well.
I wasn't saying it was because he was from Texas that he's grammatically challenged. I was responding to the fact that people from Missouri pronounce it Missura.

And I'm not referring to an accent or words that are specifically "texan". What I'm referring to is statements that come out of his mouth that make no sense at all. The so-called "bushisms".
