Fuck me running - another Cindy McCain recipe scandal. They just can’t help themselves:
Another crack is showing in the McCain campaign’s attempts at crafting a down-home image.
The campaign contributed a recipe to Parents magazine, “Cindy McCain’s Oatmeal-Butterscotch Cookies.” However, it looks like it was copied directly from the Hershey’s site.
The McCain campaign previously 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.
Hillary had cookie issues, but at least she used her own recipe.
Yeah, but you know, when you spend your days actually doing what most people only have time to read about in Martha Stewart Living (make that "look at")... these things like "chip proportions" tend to run together.
So some allowance has to be made for earnestness in the baking realm.

How do you bake cookies in a cauldron?

Well, no one said she could cook but she can make a mean banana cream pie....

Cindy's recipes? They might be. Does she own Hershey's and Rachael Ray?

The way I heard it first was:
*Cindy McCain's Fillet Mignon Recipe*
- tell Consuelo, "We're having fillet mignon."
- Add "Now."
- wait impatiently for 20-30 minutes.
- enjoy!
But today I saw the story on MSNBC's morning broadcast, and one of the commentators threw in something about Cindy McCain's recipe for anything is to summon the cook, and I knew it had reached meme level.
Heckuva job, McCain campaign!
