got caught copying some other recipes, purportedly from Cindy McCain herself, off of the Food Network's site. Just try to imagine the outpouring of pundit outrage and ridicule if a Dem did something like this once, let alone twice.
Permalink avatar Just try to imagine the outpouring of pundit outrage and ridicule if a Dem did something like this once, let alone twice. The same can be said about something McCain has done or said virtually every day so far.
Permalink avatar They didn't even try to make it look original. You'd think that they could have at least changed the order of the ingredients list or have slightly modify amounts. But no, they copied the thing verbatim right down to the prep and cooking instructions.
Permalink avatar After or during the whole health care bill debacle with Hillary in the first term Clinton White House, she suddenly came out with this recipe for her favorite cookies. Does anyone really think a cookie recipe makes them look "homey?" Listen, when Cindy McCain comes up with hints on how to get knots out of toddlers' sneaker laces with her teeth, I'll begin to think she's done something "down home."
Permalink avatar It's all part of the "Who's more of a Real American?" This particular variant may date from 1992, when Hillary defended her professional accomplishments by saying she hadn't wanted to stay home and bake cookies. That threatened to undermine Bill's Real American credentials, so later in the campaign she turned around and came up with a cookie recipe. Ever since, you can't be a contender if your spouse doesn't make a strong showing in the cookie primary.
What if the magazine just asked for the recipe of Cindy's favorite baked cookies? Nobody is going to mistake her for a cookie baker - so she gave them a recipe of baked cookies she likes.
What if the magazine just asked for the recipe of Cindy's favorite baked cookies? Nobody is going to mistake her for a cookie baker - so she gave them a recipe of baked cookies she likes. I tend to agree, unless it was represented as a recipe she had created. How many people not in the food business create original recipes?
v=Euu_DMhsXQo&eurl From the makers: "McCain's freaky-mean '92 outburst is a well-sourced story found in Cliff Schecter's book "The Real McCain." Due to the particularly profane nature of the offense it would probably be useless to wait for the press to give it the full-on, endlessly repeating, 24-7 Reverend Wright treatment.
So, when are Cindy McCain's patent phoniness, iciness, and drug-addled past going to become legitimate campaign issues? You know, the way every utterance, glance, or telegraphed thought of Michelle Obama is?
You'd think that she could come up with a recipe using beer batter. Her inability to think out of the box for recipe ideas further shows that the McCain's aren't capable of new ideas.
Permalink avatar Hey, don't laugh about these candidate wives' recipies. One of my mainstays still, one frequently requested by my kids, is "Muriel Humphrey's Ground Beef Casserole" from Parade Magazine in 1968. I forget what Pat Nixon's contribution was - I made it too but wasn't impressed.
