Wasn't it Hillary that said she didn't like broccoli? I seem to remember broccoli futures crashed right after that.
She might have, but it was Bush I and the video clip Rocket88 posted that I remember.
Oh, here's the story about the truckload of broccoli. It seems it was two truckloads, but it didn't go to waste:
WASHINGTON — The nation's most famous broccoli shipment was welcomed at the White House Monday by Barbara Bush, her faithful dog, Millie, and scores of White House reporters, who milled around the dark green stalks looking for news.
As Mrs. Bush surveyed the scene and tried, without success, to keep a straight face, George Dunlop, president of the Washington-based United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Assn., waxed metaphorical.
Broccoli is "a green beam of light" emanating from one of President Bush's famous thousand points of light, he said as he presented the First Lady with a beribboned vegetable bouquet. An additional 10 tons of the California-grown vegetable, which arrived in two truckloads, is being donated to a capital-area food bank.
