Sen. Obama Dodges the TV Question!
What's worse for a politician: not knowing the price of bread, or not having a favorite TV Show?

Journalists love playing gotcha with those bread/milk questions, knowing full well that few people working 16 hours a day and shuttling cross-country running for office rarely do their own grocery shopping. It's more like a pop quiz, with memorized answers, than any real revelation of how down they are with the common man's woes.

Here's what Sen. Obama answered: "Other than the U.S. Senate on C-SPAN? I don't watch them too often."

It only gets dumber...
