Critics of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin dismiss her as a redneck. But that's one area where she might agree with her detractors.

At a rally last night, Palin asked country singer Gretchen Wilson to sing her hit song "Redneck Woman." During the song, Palin can be seen clapping and singing along:

A much better quality version of the event can be found at the NECN Web site. Palin appears to be singing along with particular gusto with the line:

Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah

While some people consider the word "redneck" to be derogatory, others - in particular fans of country music - use it as a badge of honor. Count Palin in that crowd, as she once told a group of supporters:

Palin even once acquired a business license (now expired) to operate under the company name "Rouge Cou."

"It's a classy way of saying redneck," she told a reporter at the time.
