I never watched "Dukes of Hazzard." But I am from the Deep South, and I talk a lot like Judge Sauls, and I know a lot of people who talk like Judge Sauls. I see the commentators call it "folksy." That isn't what I'd call myself, but maybe it's the way that it comes across to others. It's just the way people talk in the Deep South. I couldn't be any other way no matter how hard I tried. Judge Sauls probably couldn't be any other way, either. Bill Clinton has kind of the same thing going, but maybe going to Oxford and Yale smoothed it over. Dubya has the same thing going, too. Gore does not. Boies does not. Beck doesn't either, but he seems more like a chameleon. I know nothing about him, but I would bet that he grew up in a city in the mid-West, or industrial North, in a blue collar family, or a family that was one generation removed from blue collar.
