Failpandering in the Old Dominion

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, August 21. 2008 11:05
I'm sure that the "genius" reporter from CBS NEWS is to blame for this, but the attempt at pandering is rather funny in and of itself, too:

(MARTINSVILLE, Va.) Would you vote for your cousin if he or she ran for president? Barack Obama hopes so.

Today, he told a small group of supporters in Virginia that he may be related to them.

While describing his family’s background, he said, “You trace back my family on my mother’s side: Scots Irish. There are a whole bunch of those folks here in Virginia,” he said. “All right. So ya'll didn't know, but we may be cousins.”


"Ya'll?" What the heck kinda language is that?

More importantly, when can we expect an EPIC video of Obama a la Clinton to be released?

Update: Upon further reflection, it's occurred to me that this spelling just might be intentional. As in, perhaps Our World's Annointed President was using a bit of his masterful German to make his point.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*for you Yankees, we people of the south have that word combo as a major staple of communication. Except, we don't use the apostrophe. to us, it's just yall.

for those that insist upon an apostrophe, we will even accept y'all.

Only the elitist southern-wanna-bes put it as ya'll.

(lol)

For me, I just find it ironic that this man will "try" and sound like that. I bet he never even heard that word before now. Has he ever used a conjunction before? And, I bet the Virginians were sick to their stomach when he told them that they might be cousins. I know I would.
