No offence, you are totally correct.  I too have been asked numerous times
where I was from as I do not have an accent either.  I have lived in the
north, south and in the middle.  I have always been taught the correct
pronunciation of words.  I was not comparing Kerry to Bush, just Bush to the
rest of his family, although I am sure if born and raised in Bawston, the
accent is natural and hard to get rid off totally.  As you said, it is a
sign of a lazy tongue, to a degree.  If one is born and raised in Mexico,
moves to the US and learns the language, the odds are that no matter how
hard they try, will always speak the language differently.  Look at
Governator Arnold.  Jeb, and "W" were raised in the same family, but they
both come off as totally different.  I just found it funny after moving down
here and have had the opportunity to see a how different brothers can come
off.  The accent is only one of the huge differences.

I have friends from Bahston, among other places, and can hear a few
Bahstonian words eek out when Kerry talks as well.  I know that people tend
to generalize the southern accent as uneducated or lazy, but the truth is
that any accent is lazy.  If you don't correctly pronounce the words of your
language then that is lazy, or more correctly, a lazy tongue.  Since I have
used Boston as the example, there is no 'h' in car or park.  Because someone
can pronounce words better does not necessarily mean they are more educated,
and vise versa.  The same is applicable with school grades.

Even though I have lived in the south for most of my life people all over
the US often ask me where I am from because I have no accent.  Well, if I am
around someone who does then I will pick that up but it goes away in short
order.

Preconceptions always amaze me.  No offense, Jack :)

Jeb seems to be a much better more educated more normal guy from what I
have seen from his brother.  I think W was dropped as a kid, his father
was decent had no southern accent, and Jeb seems decent and has no
southern accent, what happened to the other one?

No offence to southerners, just pointing out that the rest of the family
has been able to acliment (sp) themselves to public communication, not
preaching.
