When Tom Vilsack was governor, he told Iowans they need to not be so modest...to brag a little. So what does Vilsack do now that he's the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture? He says his organic garden his office grows in D.C. isn't as good as First Lady Michelle Obama's garden. Come on, Mr. Secretary, what happened to that Iowa braggadocio?
I bet he's not having any trouble bragging about his Pittsburgh Penguins, who just won hockey's Stanley Cup (Vilsack grew up in the Pittsburgh area).

No, no, no--Iowans find it unseemly to brag about themselves. So he can't brag about his own garden. He could, however, say the first lady's garden's produce isn't as fine as what you can buy in our abundant farmers' markets.
Nothing suprises me about Vilsack. He is an opportunist it is clear to see.
