Cindy McCain Responds to Recipe Theft On The View

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:

And the dear ladies on The View asked about the recipes - did anyone think to ask about the drug addiction? If McCain gets elected, we are going to have a recovering drug addict as first lady who escaped going to jail because hubby was a US senator and the family is one of the richest in Arizona.

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?

Like they're really going to grill her on The View.





And besides, we've have a recovering drug addict as President right now, we're used to it.

She's writing a book? How exciting. I'm sure it will be totally inspirational.
Ideas for Chapters:

1. How to Blame the Intern for Everything (wink,wink)
2. Never, Ever Be Held Accountable for Anything, People
3. Has Anyone Seen My Drink?
4. Hello? Those Prescription Drugs Aren't Going To Take Themselves.
5. I'm Married to a Scary Little Worm of a Man, but I Love It When He Calls Me a C%*t So I Stick Around
6. Seriously, Could Someone Get Me a Drink In Here?
7. Maybe We Should Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran
8. 100 Ways to Lie, Decieve, and Manipulate Your Way Through Any Situation (Just Kidding- There's Only One Way. It's Called I Have A LOT of Money.)

Just some suggestions

ROTFLMAO

good one.

Cindy has degrees from USC in the same manner Bush has degrees from Yale and Harvard.

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!

[ritenow]

Can you say Stepford wife?

[JScott]

Cindy McCain & Elizabeth Hasslebeck separated at birth?

[Politiking]

Regardless whether she's had face lift and/or other work done, Cindy McCain is still hotter than A. Huffington or Barbara Walters. Barbara Walters looked like Cindy McCain's grandmother in the video.

[wagonjak]

Poli-Ticks-Typical right-wing logic...elect a jock president who you'd like to have a beer with, and elect an old tired guy cause his wife is "hot".

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...

[ChicagoKid]

The chick's face is pulled so tight you could play a game of "quarters" off it.

They should have asked her impromptu to make an omelette. I bet she can't even use a spatula.

[Ourrias]

To quote Joan Rivers: "One more lift and she's gonna have a beard!"

[bobzaguy]

Use a spatula???

I bet she can't even SPELL S P A T U L A

[deevee]

Oh dear God

[beachcruiser]

If Cindy gets her eyes pulled back one more time she'll have to walk backwards just to see in front of her.

[ShimeyShimey]

Wahh.. Wah.. There's ups and downs in my rich narrow-minded unenlightened world.

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

[Dogma]

And who exactly is going to read this 'book' Cindy?

[ShimeyShimey]

No one with half a brain.

[cmaff05]

The entire Republican party?

[SatanicPanic]

Do we really need Paris Hilton as a first lady?

[ShimeyShimey]

NO!!!

[sww]

Anyone else see a resemblance between Cindy and Balok?

If this is the best the dems have get ready for old John in November.

[beachcruiser]

Dems won't have to do much - McCain is his own worst enemy, and will implode as soon as the debates with Obama begin

[polish]

If you think Obama is going to win a debate against McCain you are living in a fantasy world. He's a poet, an orator, a writer but he doesn't have experience or the knowledge to win a debate or the presidency. The hope pope is going to get crushed.

Shame on her recipe stealin private chef-
