Where Are The Southern Accents In The Obama Cabinet? – Marc Ambinder:

A reader wonders:

Is there going to be a Southern accent anywhere in the Obama cabinet/WH ? Does not seem so so far and I don’t see many credible Southerners in the remaining rumored names.

Answer: James L. Jones, the incoming national security adviser, has sort of a southern Missouri drawl, but only Rep.[sic] Robert Gates, a native…Kansan, too, has anything resembling a Southern accent, although he probably picked it up when he served as President of Texas A & M.

But, aside from incoming White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, there ain’t none, y’all.

Just fucking shoot me. Obama manages to burn through an entire cabinet without a single real liberal, and the lack of Southerners is what’s now important? I notice there aren’t any tranny hookers, Somali pirates, cast members from The Hills, or 1115.org writers either.
