Mia,
Interesting exposition of your technique and artistic approach.
One question... the "I keep in my desk drawer" quote....
Normally missus clinton favors the flat, midwest twang one can assume she comes by naturally. Of course, as you have pointed out, the "plantation" quote especially the "you know what I'm talkin' about" was rendered in pseudo-ghettoese.
But the "I keep in my desk drawer" is unlike anything I have ever heard out of its mouth. I think it sounds very much like Boston in some places, and maybe the Bronx in others. But it's not that usual flat twang we have all come to know and, er, love.
Any thoughts?
