uh presidential recipes and plagiarism

So I dunno why this was news, but the internet is a thankless and hungry void for information. So The New York Sun published a recipe from each of the potential presidential wives... and Hillary Clinton. (Does Bill not cook, I think it would have been funnier if he published a recipe for an Elvis style clog your arteries sandwich.)

So Hillary put forward an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, wholesome and sweet. Michelle Obama put forth an apple cobbler recipe, how American. AND, Cindy McCain, oddly and off the beaten path, put forth a recipe for passion fruit mousse. I remember reading it and being disturbed thinking of her and old wooden teeth getting busy on the beach with some mousse. TURNS OUT, she plagiarized it straight from the Food Network website.. and the campaign pulled the recipe in embarassment.

Dude, if you can't or don't cook, just make a funny joke about take out menus, or choose like many of the other potential first ladies, not to participate. Don't add your name to some other chef's specialty recipe (which it was).

I wonder if Kucinich's hot hippie wife had a recipe for granola?

Ugh. The Huffington Post did a story on it, but then got the men's recipes. Uh, Bill Clinton's eggs... cause he always cooks you breakfast the morning after. Obama's chili cause he started making it when he was a poor college student and organizer. And John McCain apparently squeezes lemon on his ribs. Take that however you want... but you know there's some fruity oil in their bedroom. Yuck on sooo many levels.
