You Say Tomato Sarah Palin Says Tomato


You can't make this stuff up. Politico, is featuring an article entirely devoted to none other then Governor Sarah Palin's accent:

Not since John F. Kennedy’s Boston brogue took the stage at the 1960 presidential debates has a national politician’s tongue stood out in such a way.....

Palin
, who was born in Idaho and whisked away to Alaska in her infancy, somehow developed a voice well-suited for a character on “The Prairie Home Companion.”


“It’s very Fargo,” said former McCain campaign strategist Mark McKinnon. “Ton of personality."

At a time of economic uncertainty, a dual war aboard and perhaps the most important presidential election in 40 years....these character driven articles continue to take center stage. This narrative further fuels the shoddy election coverage based on personality and quirks that has been dominating the political atmosphere.

The article goes on to talk about who likes are accent and who doesn't and why. Ahh the media doing what it does best, educating the voters on the issues.

If I had closed my eyes while listening to SP speak ... I would have thought I was listening to Margie in Fargo.
