You were wrong Greg. The other network's joke involving Southern accents, equating them to stupid people, the one you said was, "not that bad," was "that bad." I'm Southern.
And a Southerner can be intelligent without having an advanced degree, which another of your co-hosts mentioned, sort of as a requirement.
I'm so sick of TV consisting of people with Yankee accents that, inherently, look down on about 1/3 of our great country's populous.
I'm American by birth, Southern by the grace of God !
