Barack, Arugala and Adel Iowa

Via Bloodthirsty Liberal

How not to campaign in Iowa

"Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula? I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff." --Barack Obama, Friday in Adel, Iowa

Couple of problems here:

1) There are no Whole Foods stores in Iowa, so chances are no one from
Adel had "gone into" one lately.


2) Iowa grows mostly corn. Agricultural commodity issues are vrey
important here, but
arugala isn't likely as critical to Iowans
as corn.

Maybe next time barACK can say it right. It's a Vejh. It. Ah. Buhll.
