JanTri: Media Love NI Stories Like Hate-Obama Sign

re: Hate-Obama sign maker surprised by fuss
We have a reputation here in North Idaho that paints us all as either Rednecks, Cowboys, or Skinheads. Much of this is the fault of the National media jumping on stories like this one, and making a big deal over nothing to sell news. At least, it gets North Idaho in the public eye, for good or bad, and folks who don't know where we are might look at a map and find out!! An old friend from Buffalo, NY, once said to me, "Oh, yeah, you live in one of thoes "I" states now." Maybe he will see Germana's sign on the Today Show.

Question: How would you define a redneck?
