Is Governor Perdue channeling her message from a Toby Keith song?
It sure seems like it if you read this interview with her from the Charlotte Business Journal.
One of Toby Keith's biggest hits "I Wanna Talk About Me" seems to have been running through the Governor's head during the interview. While the interview is only 16 questions, Perdue refers to herself roughly 68 times.
Check out this passage:
And I have never seen a challenge that I wouldn’t take. I really do
