Paul Greenberg misses the whole point of this episode.

I don't think so. He's a Southerner (he coined the term Slick Willie long before Bill ever slunk out of Arkansas) who knows all the nuances and applications of redneck.

I beg to differ. We can all compare our "Redneck" bona fides to varying levels of success. But, in this instance, Paul Greenberg is ignoring the fact that Andrea Mitchell was looking down her Washington D.C. nose at this region of the country. By her own admission, no less!

Obama's "Cling to their guns..." and Mitchell's "Redneck" comments reflect how they think very accurately.

So what? Who cares what a media mannequin says? We Southerners know what we're made of.
