Giuliani Notes: Rudy Misses Mark on Milk and Bread Costs – SO WHAT?
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani answers a question during a news conference Tuesday, April 10, 2007, at the Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala.
AP: Giuliani off the mark on grocery costs
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani hasn’t done a lot of grocery shopping lately — at least based on his answers about the cost of milk and bread.
This is a biased conclusion based on what?
Flap goes grocery shopping every two weeks with the wife and frankly I do not know what the costs of milk, eggs or bread are. I do know that a 12 pack of Diet Orange Soda is 3 for $10.00.
Flap’s bet is that most husbands do not know the every day costs of basic commodities.
Campaigning in Alabama on Tuesday, the former New York City mayor portrayed himself as a fiscal conservative and an aggressive fighter of terrorism who has a lot in common with the Deep South state.
But when asked about more mundane matters — like the price of some basic staples — Giuliani had trouble with a reporter’s question.
“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.
Giuliani was closer to the mark on the price of a gallon of gasoline.
“Gas, I think, is $2.89,” he said
Flap does know the price of gasoline since I purchase it on a commuting week frequently. Today gas in Santa Barbara County was $3.55 per gallon.
But, what is the point of this story?
It is a set-up to embarass the Mayor as one who is detached from the common American.
Well, this is BULL.
As I said before most men/husbands could not tell you on a daily basis what the prices of groceries are.
Crap story……
Update:
Flap wants to elect a President not a winning contestant on The Price is Right!
And Flap challenges AP reporter PHILLIP RAWLS to go out and sample 50 men in California, Alabama, New York City or wherever and ask them on video tape the same questions and see how divergent and/or accurate the answers REALLY are.
Up for the challenge Phillip?
