Keep the Yankees up nawth, they're too difficult to educate in the Southern way of life. Gotta teach 'em how to eat grits, bull fries, collards, kale, and cornbread. It's not worth the time nor the effort.

Barack Obama | Librarians for Obama
Maybe they just want someone who has actually BEEN IN a library....

And Mrs Bush was a wonderful and classy First Lady. I just think she should have told you know who to shhhhh a couple of times. We might all have been better off.
