Grampa McSame married his $100 million dollar pill-poppin' Sugar Momma, Cougar McTart, so he wouldn't have to know or worry about the price of milk. Afterall, Sugar Momma brings home the bacon.

Bob Barr is now a true conservative option to McSame. One needs, however, to review the Bob Barr record during his congressional time. He was a great " champion " of the Clinton impeachment fiasco and led that fight all the way to oblivion. Now he's back as the conservative alternative. He is however in another world of competence when compared to McSame who is in a league of his own.

Just for fun someone should give Cougar McTart a pop quiz, because I bet she could rattle off the price of a 'script of Vicodin faster than Grampa can say "Viagra".

i think that was more of a list of talking points he wanted to make.
by the way McCrazy, milk has been over 4 bucks a gallon (at least here in Maine) for about a year now. Way to be current.

To be fair, nobody does my shopping but me, and I can't tell you how much milk costs either!

You comment is a little incoherent at first but the last part, I don't drink milk because it's full of homones and cow pus but I know it's about $4 a gallon. All he has to know is about how much prices are. I couldn't tell you exactly to the cent how much anything is in the store but I can get close. Why even the notes?

Don't worry, I'm anything but a McCain apologist. As far as incoherent sentences go, I don't see where mine is lacking in its grammar, punctuation or spelling. But do allow me to clarify. My point was that even people such as myself who purchase their own groceries more often than not would require notes if they were quizzed on the prices of said items. Clearly, McCain does not go grocery shopping. One would hope he has better things to do with his time. This anxiety so often expressed by so many of countrymen, and their distrust of the elite, is something I find rather amusing. Personally, I want the elite to run things, not Joe Schmoe at the local supermarket. I especially would like to see the intellectual elite able to come out of their respective closets, and declare openly that they are fit to make the big decisions.

The trouble with that is McCain has made a point of calling Obama an elitist and out of touch with the common people. And the problem with allowing the elite to govern us is that they don't have any sympathy for the common people. I wouldn't put it past Bush, Cheney, and McCain to approve of massive food price increases as they don't think we deserve to eat well. In fact, didn't we see that attitude in Barbara Bush just after the hurricane Katrina when she visited them in Astrodome? My impression was that she thought that was all the common people deserved, living in mass shelters and having to wear cast off clothes, eat soup line food, etc.

Yes, you make a valid point. The elite are not all elitists. The Bush camp are simply anti-American. McCain calling Obama an elitist is like the pot calling the kettle black.

I do the shopping most of the time and I don't know the cost of milk either. I buy it, but it's not one of the prices that seem to matter to me in lieu of everything else on the list.

Have to say, McCain gets a pass on this one too. I do all the shopping and I honestly can't tell you off the top of my head how much milk is...we simply don't buy a lot of it. I know it has gone up, but since we don't drink it very much, its not something I keep in my head.
I get your point, however. McNeverShopsForHimself wouldn't know this anyway.

vwcat: No amount of " shilling " will cover the reality of gross incompetence which has become a regular feature of McCain's campaign. Just imagine what a McCain administration would be like.

Anyone know what a jar of capers costs? I can't even remember the last time I was even near the milk section in the grocery store. It's in a corner with other food items I don't buy, so I don't even walk by it. But I buy capers at least once a month. They've gone up in price, as I would assume milk has done. I seem to remember milk tracking the price of gasoline pretty well in the past. But I really wouldn't know now. Limes are outrageous these days. I do know that. But should people really be expected to know the prices of things they don't consume?

Limes are outrageous these days.
Sheeze!!!! That is because limes are out of season. Limes are in season in February and limes still on the trees now are ripe and no longer green.
Besides, supermarkets gouge for the price of lemons, limes and all food. I shop at a local ethnic market and produce is 1/5 the cost of what it costs in the chain supermarkets. Cabbage was on sale at 7 pounds for 99 cents, normally 4 or 5 pounds for 99 cents. Carrots are normally 3 pounds for a dollar, onions, 4 or 5 pounds for a dollar. The produce is vastly superior to the quality available in the local supermarkets. They sell so much very high quality meat, they have ten butchers working full time behind the counters serving customers and they are working very, very hard. Also have ten people in the produce department refilling the produce bins. Years ago, they were doing about 10 times the business of any supermarket in the area, but their business is now so vast, I cannot guess, perhaps 15-20 tmes as much business.
Oh yeah, limes are as low as 15 for a dollar in season.

15 for a dollar in season? You must live in Texas. The best I ever get in Colorado is 3 for a dollar (for about two weeks, in season). I'm paying 69 cents a piece right now. But we don't grow limes in Colorado, they have to be transported from Texas or Mexico, and that costs a lot more these days. As for the local markets, they sell organic limes which cost even more. I consume three limes a day for my iced tea, and I know damn well when the season is. But there's not much of a season here. There's really not much of a season for any crops here. But Colorado Peach season is approaching, and I'm looking forward to that. It's the one crop that can be grown well in Colorado.

Back when Al Gore was running for President, the media asked him the price for a loaf of bread (I think) and he didn’t know and the press made a big deal out of it. Republican’s called him an elitist. We’ll see what they do with McCain.

Can you remember the last correct or intelligent thing which has been done or said by McSame? Please post it if you can remember it? This guy is a shame and a sham. I'm also rechecking my dictionary for the meaning of the word hero and realize that this application to McCain is a myth at best and a sham at worst.
