What about the opposite end of the spectrum? Where a person’s true feelings are most likely to be delivered without guile. The Texan?

As my sister, who now lives in the deep south, has pointed out, Southerners can say pretty much anything because they phrase it as a question and follow it with "bless-yo-heart" in that drawl. Try this w/ a twang: "Why yo' mama was nuthin' but a 2-bit whore, was she, yo po thang? Raised you no bettern' a squirrel, did she, Sugar, Bless-yo-heart?"</p> <p>See? Sounds like sympathy.</p> You may have something there.

See? Sounds like sympathy.

By gum he is. He must be nice. (The ones I think are dead usually are, since being nasty gets one press)

I think his accent lets him get by with people thinking he’s nicer than he really is. But in person, apparently, he’s quite sweet. Bubblehead’s a fan, having met him when he and Rosalind came to see the boat named after him.

You want to know who genuinely is a nice man? Walter Mondale.
