Last week, Lauren Handel and I broke the story of Cindy McCain and her recipe theft, a story now known to the world as "Recipegate." Cindy McCain, as a co-host on The View Monday, responded for the first time to the plagiarism accusations by joking that the intern who stole the recipes from the Food Network was "now in Betty Crocker boot camp." If Betty Crocker had a boot camp, or if she were a real person, I'm sure one of her first "drills" would be to let her culinary recruits know that plagiarism is no laughing matter.
Here's the clip:

Did anyone think to ask her why she stole drugs from her charity which was supposed to help third world countries not be a source for her drugs? Maybe someone could have asked why the individual who blew the whistle on her at the charity was fired and later accused by the McCain spin machine that he was trying to "blackmail" Mrs. McCain?
Did she really go to drug rehab? Or are those glazed eyes just a sign that she has gotten better at getting drugs - maybe it's another intern or her housekeeper?
Perhaps Elizabeth will cover that in a follow up interview?
And besides, we've have a recovering drug addict as President right now, we're used to it.

good one.
Cindy's only family recipes involve beer. Since her family made $100+ million off of Americans' addiction to alcohol (don't decriminalize pot, it's bad for business!), the only recipes she could truly offer as family heirlooms are Beer Battered Fish and Chips.
Beer battered Onion Rings.
Bronfman's Moonshiner BBQ sauce.
That's it. Time to head to the Rachael Ray site to find something to steal. But you do have to admire McCain tagging Obama as an elitist when his wife published a plagiarized recipe for Passion Fruit Mousse in Yankee Magazine last December.
Gotta love those crazy McCains!
And whether Cindy's had a face lift? You gotta be kidding me!
She has that blonde hatchet face that all the lady pundits at Fox News have...if you find that kind of face attractive, your taste is in the gutter...
They should have asked her impromptu to make an omelette. I bet she can't even use a spatula.
I bet she can't even SPELL S P A T U L A

Give me a break, she has no idea what "ups" and "downs" really are.
