Watch this space

I'm watching Meet The Press right now, with Howard Dean on as Tim Russert's guest. He's said some extremely fascinating and intelligent things especially about religion, and as soon as the transcript for this show appears on the Meet The Press website I'll be putting some quotes here.

In brief, though, I'd like to know exactly where it is that Dean is from that he uses the word "idears." Idears. Who uses that word? Is that Jersey? I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody on the national stage actually use that word.

My grandmother always said "ideers," but she was not on the national stage. A lot of older Georgians tack on "er" to words ending w/ open vowels, i.e. open the winder.
