Just want to reiterate: REAL TEXANS do not talk like Bush.

[Maddy McCall]

I know no one in the Great State of Texas who speaks in such a way. Those of you who have spoken to me on the phone know that I, a native Texan, do not speak like that. Nor do many of the many other DUers who were born and raised in the Lone Star State.

Indeed, if Bush were a first-grade student in a public school in Texas, his parents would receive an immediate referral to speach therapy.

That is all.

1. Neither do real humans.

...

[Avalux]

2. I can back you up on that. Bush has some strange fake shit going on.

:hi:

[Ishoutandscream2]

3. Thank you. Exactly right.

He tries really hard to act like the Texan stereotype. He even fails at that.

[El Pinko]

4. As a fellow Texan, I can vouch for that.

He talks like he's got a bunch of marbles in his mouth.

[Maddy McCall]

5. My son said, "What's wrong with him. He sounds like he's got a mouthful of crackers!"

:rofl:

[OmahaBlueDog]

6. It's pure affectation

Daddy Bush doesn't speak like that

Barb doesn't speak like that

Jeb doesn't speak like that

The whole Texas accent/ mispronouncing & butchering sentences is a show he puts on to seem like "one of the guys you'd like to have a beer with"

[Maddy McCall]

7. Or "like one of the guys you'd like to watch get drunk and make an ass of himself."

:)

[tularetom]

8. I was stationed in Texas for a year.

I have a whole shitload of relatives there. I have never heard one person who ever sounded like this buffoon.

[WolverineDG]

9. He's never had a real Texas accent

He speaks Dumb Assican.

dg, born & bred real live Texan

[BeHereNow]

10. Nor do people with all their brain cells in tact.

The man clearly has neurotransmitter damage.
BHN

[Th1onein]

11. That drunk idiot is NOT from Texas

I'm a native Texan and he is NOT from here.

[Maddy McCall]

12. Thus my "Real Texans" headline.

Yet the whole world sees him as a Texan. :freak:

[Maine-ah]

14. nope. he's not. I do believe he's really from Connecticut.

[Skittles]

13. I don't know anyone here who "clears brush" too

:puke:

[Maddy McCall]

15. Me neither.

I come from a long line of cattle ranchers and farmers, and I've never heard anyone make reference to "clearing brush."

Cut trees? Check. Clean the fenceline? Check.

Clear brush? Never heard it until Bush.

[WolverineDG]

17. My mom would say that

her parents' families were both farming families in Robstown, near Corpus.

dg

[Skittles]

20. OK let me ask this

is that ALL she did on the farm? :o

[WolverineDG]

24. Of course not

It was a ***real*** farm, not a toy one. :P

dg

[Skittles]

27. LOL

:thumbsup:

[Judi Lynn]

37. Maybe it's because Bush does such a good job of it no one else has to bother!

Or, maybe not!

[AZBlue]

16. And REAL AMERICANS don't think or act ike him.

:toast:

[bridgit]

18. I hear'ya, Hon, real Californians don't talk like Reagan either

[Maddy McCall]

21. Hi, bridg!

:hug:

[bridgit]

26. Hi Maddy!!

:hug: Hoping you're well these days, yes :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

28. Doin' fine! How are you?

:hi:

[bridgit]

29. Oh girl, we just got back from some 1,400 miles of work on the road...

all through NorCal what the news folks out here are calling: The Mess In The West (you may have seen of of it on the news), sheets of rain, snow dumps, wind squalls, ICE!, fucking ice!!, but no not me...

my guy is a highly-target-mission-oriented, fighter pilot kind of guy :scared: still...we're safe (thanks to my guy), we're home!! and i just love to see the names that i love to see so dearly, and your's is one of them, Maddy, m'dear one you = please be safe as well :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

33. Glad that y'all had a safe trip through all of that!

And back atcha, sweetheart. :hug:

[Canuckistanian]

19. He's the original Connecticut Cowboy

Even his daddy didn't attempt to talk Texan.

[MagickMuffin]

40. I like to refer to him as a Connecticut Yankee in Cowboy Clothing

kinda like the Connecticut Yankee in King Authur's Court by Mark Twain

His phony Texas accent is brought to you by Karl Rove.

[and-justice-for-all]

22. You mean you dont say TERRA? nt

[Maddy McCall]

23. Not unless I'm buying a plant pot.

:D

[and-justice-for-all]

25. Ha! nt

[MilesColtrane]

30. True.

I've never heard one say, "OOK OOK OOK TERRAH OOK OOK NUKULAR OOK!"

And after hearing Bush say that tonight, I still haven't.

[Maddy McCall]

32. LOL

:spray:

[MiniMe]

31. Well, he isn't a real Texan, so it makes sense

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

34. True. All real Texans sound like Ross Perot

:rofl:
:hide:

[Maddy McCall]

35. Nuh UH!

:spank:

[lutefisk]

36. Great thread...he's a phony and a freak!...n/t

[Aristus]

38. It's the regional accent of Dumbfuckistan.

His is one of the purer varieties...

[MagickMuffin]

39. That's because he ISN'T A TEXAN............ Therefore he's Faking it by overcompensating

I've NEVER met a Texan yet who speaks like him either and I live here in the Great State of Texas.

:crazy:
