As a Hoosier who was transplanted to SoCal, and really came to understand what a backwater hole Indiana can be (even my dear cousin, Debbie, used to ask what was wrong with those people), it was amusing to have a Hoosier become a prominent citizen. He couldn't help but be a dopey one. He's a Hoosier (try to pay attention). But he's such a weenie that he confirms everything Deb and I used to laugh about. I miss her like Pence misses his self-respect.
