Annalee Newitz Quote
When James Garner called Howard Stern the epitome of trailer trash, Stern responded, in his typically scatological fashion, I can’t believe this guy wants a war with me. He should be busy worrying if he’s gonna have a solid bowel movement. We know, of course, from Stern’s now two best-selling memoirs that neither his parents nor his own Long Island suburban family live in a trailer. His non-trash origin goes to show that you do not have to be white trash to use white trash sensibilities as a weapon of cultural war, although the fact that white trash’s rocket scientist, Roseanne, grew up so solidly trashy, reinforces the argument that early training counts.
