Rod Dreher over at Crunchy Con noted the phony Southern accent Sen. Hillary Clinton affected for her speech commemorating the 1965 attack on civil-rights marchers in Selma, Ala. Br'er Dreher says the hilarity ensuing from the senator's doofusey attempt at a Black Southern drawl -- and better yet, attempted at an African-American church service -- reminded him of Officer Hopkins ("Hoppy") on the 1970s sitcom Sanford and Son.
Certainly Hillary (as in Hillary for President . . . if she's elected, will she become like one of those single-named Afghan warlords?) was Hoppy-esque in her fish-out-of-watertude, but calling the woman "Hoppy" doesn't quite cover what it was I heard in the above clip.
I'm a few years older than Rod, and I know EXACTLY what I heard on that clip:
On acid.
