as if the people ruled by conan the barbarian have any room to make fun of someone's accent.

I was willing to let it go that some speech/debate analyst on the local ABC station said that John Edwards' accent hurt him during his debate against the Vice President Tuesday night.

Until tonight. You know those special-interest stories that show a surfing chicken or a squirrel on skis? Tonight, on the very same A "We Hate the South" BC 7, they enlightened the West Coast on the adorable practices of rural Kentucky: Rabbit Hash, KY, is in the midst of preparations for their next mayoral election... The last mayor? Goofy, the German Shepherd. Who died. Now...I think Lulu the pig is running. Or something.

And the anchorwoman did a Southern accent.

That's fine, you know, great. Because they think we're all ignorant bigots. And I love irony.
