Many Southerners are so used to hearing North-Eastern elitist prejudices against the South, that they are beyond being offended, and all they can do is shrug in resignation.

Now y'all, I'm goin' cook mah-self some grits.

What Howard Dean should have done, is to talk to Southerners in the same manner as he would talk to people in his home state of Vermont, or as he talks to people in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Yeah, the people in those states are hicks too!

I have cocktail napkins that say "We don't care how you did it up North!" And we don't.

Dean has apologized and has started a deep study of Southern culture. He claims that the economy is far more complex than he had previously thought. It seems to be based on oil, moonshine, lye soap and various possum based food products.

Alright, if that’s the way you want it - we’ll keep the wonders of dentistry and indoor plumbing to ourselves!

The really funny part is that the other Dim candidates get to pound on Dean for this, and it didn't help him with southern voters one bit!

Exactly.

Anyone who thinks rednecks only live in the South have obviously never been to Ohio.

Nothin' agin y'all Yankees, but when y'all truck down 'cher, y'all tend to recollect how ya'll did just everything up North. Shucks, we move slower, so just bless y'all's hearts and we'll get 'round to it, in our own lil' ol' way.
