Guiliani clueless about cost of food

It's just what the country needs: another out of touch Republican who probably hasn't had to do any mundane tasks like go grocery shopping for a very long time. It seems Rudy Giuliani has no clue about how much food costs. From Newsday:

But when asked about more mundane matters - like the price of some basic staples - Giuliani had trouble.

"A gallon of milk is probably about a $1.50, a loaf of bread about a $1.25, $1.30," he said.

A check of the Web site for D'Agostino supermarket on Manhattan's Upper East Side showed a gallon of milk priced at $4.19 and a loaf of white bread at $2.99 to $3.39. In Montgomery, Ala., a gallon of milk goes for about $3.39 and bread is about $2.

I bet there are millions of American moms and dads who can tell you exactly what they paid for milk and bread. With fuel prices rising, family budgets could be stretched.

Maybe Zig Ziglar knows how much stuff costs. From Democrats.org in February:

According to the Washington Post today, Giuliani's campaign has left open the possibility that he will continue to accept fees for speaking engagements booked in the next six months. Get Motivated Seminars has already promoted speaking events for Giuliani in Delaware, Houston and other states where he usually gets paid $100,000 per speech. [Washington Post, 2/15/07]

A hundred grand is a lot of um, bread to whip a bunch of mid-level middle management suck-ups into a frenzy of greed. But then, the "G" in GOP never did stand for "Grand" anyhow, at least not in our lifetimes. It's a coalition of cults of authority; the only decision a Republican in 2007 has to make is which cult to join.

My money is on the Greed Cult regaining dominance. The Schiavo Savers Cult isn't good for business.
