Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno

I don't know why this bothers me, maybe because it says something about her. This woman grew up in Iowa and didn't live in New Jersey until she was in her early 30's. She was born in 1959, went to college in Pennsylvania, law school in Washington D.C., and then lived in N.Y before moving to N.J. in 1991.

So do you really acquire a regional accent when you don't live in a place until you're 32 years old?

1. Me too!!

I thought her dramatic skills were in full evidence during her denial press conference as well.

2. the fake indignation

so Walter White-esque

3. My guess is, the mayor of Hoboken came off way sympathetic...

...and so Lt Guv's handlers told her she had to come off even more sympathetic.

But she ain't that good an actor, so she just came off pathetic.

4. why not post more on her like the criminal investigation into her document forging??

???

who cares about fake accent any ways when there are REAL issues with her?

5. Many people quickly pick up accents

I am a 63 year old woman, from a family of 9 kids. We grew up in the Chicago area and 6 of us have moved to different parts of the country all after college in Indiana. The NC sister has a distinct southern accent, while others have picked up more subtle versions of where they have lived for years. Interestingly, one of my daughters observed that at family gatherings, people come in speaking various accents, but after a few days, we all sound like those still in the region we grew up in. I never noticed this until the observation was made, but listening the next time, she was right.

There are plenty of reasons to think the lt governor is phony, this maybe is not one of them.
