Straight from the Doc’s Mouth
November 6, 2003
I remember from reading Doc J a whiles back that he is originally from Alabama, so his jab at the Duck Redneck Quote is spot on:
Juxtaposing the two quotes, however, makes it apparent that Dean has a rather stereotypical view of the average Southerner. Yes, there are a lot of men in the South driving pickup trucks with a gun rack, a pinch of Copenhagen between their cheek and gums, who are quite culturally conservative. Of course, there are a fair number of people like that in Vermont, too. (I suspect they didn’t vote for Howard Dean, either.) But just as everyone in Vermont isn’t a fat socialist who makes overpriced ice cream, neither is every Southerner an unthinking redneck.
Don’t forget, Doc, that Vermont has hippies too.
