Bad TV dialects

[Herbert Stahlke]

How about the Indiana farmers on last week's West Wing.  They sounded like
Central Casting combed New England for bit players, and as Josh and Toby got
closer to Cincinnati there was no trace of Upper South.  None of them sound
like any Indiana farmers I've ever known.
