Cindy McCain Stole Recipes! At Least One From Rachel Ray!

A woman's shame.

The McCain campaign has admitted that Cindy McCain stole recipes!

The plagiarized recipes appeared in a section of John McCain's campaign Web site called "Cindy's Recipes." They've since been taken down, but can still be seen here. They're in fact identical to the Food Network site's original recipes, one of which was penned by 30-minute-meals gal Rachael Ray, according to the Huffington Post.

Apparently, the plagiarizing beast of an aspiring First Lady cannot claim Rosemary Chicken Breasts, Brown Butter and Balsamic Ravioli, Warm Spinach Salad with Pancetta and Sweet Vinaigrette as an authentic McCain family favorite!

Shortly after the scandal broke, TMZ reported that the McCains claim that an intern is to blame for the mistake (classy!) and wrote the whole thing off as a "low-level unpaid staff debacle." The help these days!

I can only speculate that "Cindy's Recipes" include the following dishes:

1. Cindy's COOKED GOOSE.

2. Cindy's HUMBLE PIE.

3. Cindy's "Karl Rove In A Blanket" with South Carolina Beans. A tasty alternative to the usual "Pigs In A Blanket."

4. Cindy's "Dough Girl" Special. Bread! Lots of bread! The amount of dough is impressive and this recipe is one in a MILLION. You can bet the BANK on it.

5. Cindy's "Foot In Mouth." Less fattening than Pigs Feet.

I think it's safe to say that Cindy's got a lot of "splaining" to do.

I wonder if Cindy had some good potatoe receepies. I love anything with a potatoe in the receepie.

Even I new the correct spelling of Ray's first name. Imagine that! I'm know couch potatoe. I'm working on my handicapp. Golf that is.

Hillary has done more for socialism then Hitler did for communism yet you continue to criticize unfairly a woman who has done nothing to you. We do not want hillaryism in this country. John McCain may not be the Republicans best choice but he is 100% better then the 2 socialist running. At least he was out protecting the country while the other 2 were out buying their way out of protecting it.

You must be kidding. Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Cindy McCain EVER had ANY input into a recipe section on their web site? C'mon you bunch of rubes. . . this woman is far to busy to bother; it is so stupid that it simply cannot be anything other than the mark of a "low level staffer." I've worked for executives and with politicos. . . they have no idea what goes on except on a peer-to-peer basis. The rest of us simply do not exist for them. Dopes.
