    So you all must know: Is she rich? Did she go to prep school? I'd put MONEY on her
    having a fancy background. She talks like a Hamptons girl or something. ...Barbara
    Walters represents the lowest aspect of this accent. Only the fanciest people have
    it.
    How can anyone in TV let her keep it? It's so snobbish and cultivated! It's totally
    inappropriate if not acknowledged. They should have the damnedably doubtful Scully confess that she really doesn't have to work!!! Trustfunder!!! How else can
    she afford to make a SWAT assault on the Peacocks in a $500 suit!
    I need to know I'm not alone out there...!
