I’ve had one or another funny American accent my whole life – Yooper twangs until my twenties, now a pronounced Minnesooooodah thing – so this is pretty much throwing stones from my glass house, but my god, I hate Sarah Palin’s accent. I hope I’d find it just as annoying if she was reading an Obama speech aloud.

It is VERY annoying. but is just her accent or her?

I especially LOVE how she wrinkles her nose and bares her front teeth for em_PHA-sis. Now that’s sincerity. Oh, and how she exploited her baby for political purposes. That’s so heartwarming.

It IS rather grating, isn’t it.

This is one of my favorite Palin slams so far. I’ve been thinking _exactly_ the same thing. I know it’s petty to be annoyed by the way someone talks, but that in no way diminishes my hatred of her accent!

I actually thinks she sounds a lot like people from other states that border Canada – like MN. But most people don’t like the MN accent either.
