What's the Price of Arugula in China? Hell, What's Arugula?

Remember that time when Bush 41 was running for president and he stopped into a neighborhood supermarket to tell the people how much he hates broccoli? And when it came time to go through the checkout stand ol' GH-Dubya looked at the automatic price-scanner like it had just been off-loaded from outer space and presented to him by an 8-foot-tall alien clutching a book that said "To Serve Man"? Well, it looks like Barry Hussein Obama has had his Poppy Bush moment.


Wonkette has the whole story, but here's the nut:

Obama shouldn’t get any special trouble for being a super rich Ivy League
elitist … unless he brings it upon himself.


Campaigning in Iowa this weekend, Obama asked the
crowd, “Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for
arugula?”


He might as well have said, “Anybody here getting their hedge fund
portfolios screwed by excessive exposure to these Collateralized Debt
Obligations since Moody’s started rebranding Triple A’s?” Iowa doesn’t have a
Whole Foods Market, not in the whole state. The cuisine of Iowa consists
of Corn Dogs and “funnel cakes,” which are a kind of home-made grease donut
rolled in sugar.

Arugula. I had to look it up.
