Question about Paul Begala

[stone]

Today's the first time I've watched Crossfire on CNN in quite a while. Quite frankly, it sucks. But for those who watch regularly, is Paul Begala's "I'm a Southerner" shtick new? I don't recall hearing a fake accent when I last listened to him. Many thanks.

I dunno, I don't watch the communist news network anymore

It was really painful to watch.

Ok so it's been confirmed to me on good authority that the accent is, in fact, fake. Thanks e-buddies.

Isn't he a southernor? If so, then how was it confirmed fake? I'm a southernor, and while it seems like he's trying to use more catchphrases like Carville, I'd hardly call it fake.

I watch the first 5 minutes of Crossfire daily for thier Political Alert, which is a pretty good segment, basically they try to out spin each other. Depending on the main topic, I usually watch a full episode every 2 weeks.

Paul Begala, I didn't know he had an "I'm a Southerner" shtick. Carville has the "I'm a Southerner" shtick if anybody, he really is southern but he just overdoes it.

Novak and Begala are complete cock suckers. At least Carville doesn't try to deny hes a partisan pig. Carlson is the most sane of the bunch and could actually be a good spokesperson for the right if he didn't dress and act like a complete douchebag.

Carville's Cajun thing is definitely the real deal. I can normally handle Begala, but the fake accent thing was just too much. Plus he threw in a bunch of stupidass cliches that he apparently thought someone from the South might use. And yes, both Novak and Begala are cocksuckers.

Was this tonight? If so I it will be on my tivo and I will have to watch the whole episode.

 

[Uncle Slappy]

He was just saying stuff like "are you pissin on my boots and tryin to tell me it's rainin?"

Most of the stuff he said I've had uncles say, I find it odd for stone to be critiqueing his southern, are you a southernor stone?

 

[NightTrain]

I've never seen Begala on Crossfire but he never had a southern accent when he was shilling for Bubba.

Exactly!
