I suspect that Shrub uses the country boy persona to cover up his awful linguistic skills (or lack thereof).
I remember Clinton using phrases like "Aw shucks," more than once referring to his poor rural upbringing, and that his mother was poor but "good people." Clinton hardly cast himself in the role of a sophisticate. Interestingly, he rather was. After all, he was a Rhodes (sp.?) scholar and didn't he study in England at perhaps Oxford. You know, whenever he is on some show, I just long for the days when someone who can speak the King's English in an intelligent way ran the country.
