You have got to be kidding me.

I almost drove off of the road when I heard this story.

"Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she sees her sometimes Southern accent as a virtue.
"I think America is ready for a multilingual president," Clinton said during a campaign stop at a charter school in Greenville, S.C.
The New York senator who said she's been thinking about critics who've suggested that she tried to put on a fake Southern accent in Selma, Ala. noted that she's split her life between Arkansas, Illinois and the East Coast."

Now I grew up in Chicago and I am married to a Pittsburgher. I am willing to admit that I am one of those folks that can pick up on an accent quickly. When I went to college in St. Louis, I would pick up on their version of a "drawl" (although I had a classmate from Southern Illinois who sounded like she grew up in Alabama her drawl was so thick). Since I bounced back and forth (between college and home) fairly often I would catch all kinds of crap from my friends for speaking like a Yankee (when I was at school) and a southerner (when I was home). However, I would have never been so arrogant to have claimed to be "multilingual" just because I could pick up a dialect. Multilingual is being able to speak Spanish AND German AND English (as I do) Madam Senator. Multilingual is being able to speak Spanish AND German AND English AND Italian AND French AND Japanese (as many of my German friends did) Madam Senator. We you start talking to us in German or French or Spanish or something OTHER than English (or an English dialect) then you can claim to be "multilingual". Until then ma'am, with all due respect, get real!
