raise your hand if you think Cindy McCain would be caught dead cooking an actual meal in an actual kitchen...that's what 'the help' is for....

McCain is a Fake!

If Michelle Obama had put those recipes up, ABC would be doing a six week "investigation" of each recipe and asking every Martha Stewart wannabe attached to the Republican Party to go before the camera with their expert "analysis."

Cindy McCain will be a huge negative to her husband as the campaign continues. There's a whole lotta crap in her closets yet to be dragged out.

Has she EVER cooked before? Food?
Her type exists solely on cigarettes & Vodka. I refer you to Joanna Lumley as Patsy Stone on 'Absolutely Fabulous' if you have any more questions about Cindy McCain's lifestyle (tell me they don't look just alike).

While Patsy is usually sloshed - her eyes don't have that wierd look that I and others have noticed in Cindy. I don't know if she underlines her eyes, but they really look strange at times - almost like they're rolling up in her head.

I am sure an intern was responsible AT THE direction of the scrawny, stick thin Cindy. Some asked for the recipes and she said "What are they nuts, I don't eat, take care of it".

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Does she haul her recipe books between all of those houses?

AdmNaismith that cracked me up! I KNEW there was something about Cindy that I just couldn't put my finger on!

She scares me in a Teresa Heinz Kerry sorta way...

Good point, John. I have been asking the question from the beginning. If these are family recipes, then how is an intern copying them from the internet? My mother's recipes are in an old, overflowing book that is full of flour on every page.Also those recipes seemed very 'modern' to have been around for 3 generations.
And yes, google 'Cindy McCain pills' and you will get the story of her pill addiction and her stealing pills from the charity she worked for. A drug addict and alcoholic, who gets called a trollop and other names by her husband has me wondering now if he hits her not. Now I feel sorry for her.

The media has decided who they want to win, therefore, that candidate is golden, and all others are screwed.

allpeopleunite · 1 year ago

Because i'm sure she was personally in-charge of her recipes page. What a vile woman and plagiarist she is.

FunMe · 1 year ago

Why can't we call them her original recipes?

She cooks and smashes her pills in all her recipes. You go gurl!

Poor Cindy! Why on earth did anyone, intern or not, think that anyone would be interested in her "treasured family recipes" ??? As pointed out already by several, the image of Cindy in an apron, cutting, chopping, mixing, and blending is one that just wont come into focus. Rather the only cooking she may have done was in a meth lab, but I really couldn't say. In any case she's a plagiarist, plain and simple. What gets me is why these people on both sides don't realize others are going to check this stuff out.

When I first heard about this, the report was that an intern or some form of low-level unpaid staffer was responsible and the campaign staff had "swiftly dealt with" (i.e., reprimanded or fired) this person. I posted a message on another board to the effect that I found it difficult to swallow this explanation because no responsible or reputable organization that I can think of would ever give a wet-behind-the-ears intern the kind of unsupervised initiative and independence that would be necessary for someone to carry this out without anyone else knowing or finding out about it beforehand -- and especially not on a project slated to be made available for public consumption (in this case literally as well as figuratively). At the very least, most reputable and responsible organizations would at least expect that person to submit his or her work for review and approval before putting it up -- which suggests that whoever was directly responsible for putting this on the site was almost certainly told to do it by someone higher up who thought nobody would notice and then metaphorically threw this person under the bus when someone *did* notice. It's not clear from the article whether Mrs. McCain was the person who instructed the intern to do this -- but she *would* certainly qualify as "someone higher up" within the campaign!

As far as I'm concerned, if McCain's wife was the one responsible for this little debacle, I consider this doubly reprehensible -- once for the plagiarism, and twice for lying about who was really responsible.

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

no, she would not be call an elitist....you know they would call her the n-word. probably a lyin', cheatin' stealin' n-word at that.

This is just sad and ridiculous. As if Cindy actually does any damn cooking.

lilybart · 1 year ago

Of course the intern did this without their knowing. How important is micro-managing some silly recipes?

The fact that they posted their homey "just folks, really,, only with 8 homes" recipes in ridiculous the first place.

Authentic White Trash Traditional Green Bean Casserole:
1 can of mushroom soup,
1 can of freedom cut green beans,
1 can of crunchy-fried onion rings.
Mix everything together in a bowl big enough for everything. Bake it for a while. Serves however many get there before it's all gone.
The dog can lick the bowl later.

The bottom line on this or any other point of attack is that the media is led by those making the loudest noise. Democrats just don't seem to be very good at ginning up outrage in a systematic way and therefore the MSM passes on by this or any other flub that would be spread like wildfire by the fight wing forces. Of course, it's different for Hillary and Bill -- they certainly can get their dander up when it comes to right wing talking points.
