TheLongRanger Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 What will they call it? Farfallegate? Rosemary Chicken Dome Scandal? Perhaps something with the ubiquitous Rachael Ray in it. It seems that Cindy McCain, John McCain's perfect, blonde beer-baroness wife is about to find herself painted as the latest example of plagiarism on the campaign trail. This past Sunday, Lauren Handel, an eagle-eyed attorney from New York, was searching for a specific recipe from Giada DeLaurentis, a chef on the Food Network. Yet whenever she Googled the different ingredients in the recipe, the oddest thing happened: not only did the Food Network's site come up, as expected, but so did John McCain's campaign site. On a section of McCain's site called "Cindy's Recipes," you can find seven recipes attributed to Cindy McCain, each with the heading "McCain Family Recipe." Ms. Handel quickly realized that some of the "McCain Family Recipes," were in fact, word-for-word copies of recipes on the Food Network site. At least three of the "McCain Family Recipes" appear to be lifted directly from the Food Network, while at least one is a Rachael Ray recipe with minor changes. McCain Family Recipes!

RufusJones Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 McCain family recipes?? really?? Honestly I just think it's funny because absolutely nothing goes unnoticed anymore. Maybe when she found them on the food network, she liked them so much she added them to her families recipes. :w00t: just a thought. My wife does it all the time.

delap Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Rufus, I agree with you, but as is right she should have cited The Food Network (13 years of English teachers making you cite your sources can get to you!!) I'm kind of a Nazi about it now. Don't like to post something without giving the proper person credit for it. Just my opinion. -delap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it wasn't actually Cindy McCain that did it. It was a staff member. They need to add a proof reader to there staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildcatPride Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 McCain Intern -- Chef Boyarthief Posted Apr 15th 2008 11:55AM by TMZ Staff Always blame the intern: John McCain's campaign tells TMZ that it was a "low-level unpaid staff debacle" that resulted in a bunch of Food Network recipes being fobbed off as Cindy McCain's on the Senator's web page. We're told that the intern in question has been "swiftly dealt with" and that the site's already been taken down. Apparently, McCain's peeps say, the web intern saw fit to "add Rachael Ray to our policy team" (so droll, those McCainites) and they apologize to the Food Network for the recipe-filching, as first observed by the Huffington Post. Fear not, though: Cindy's "recipes" have generated "a tremendous amount of public interest" and they're working on getting the page back up -- with Mrs. McCain's real recipes.

Buckeye1980 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Come on now , every time you serve someone elses recipe, do you let everyone know? I use Food Network recipes all the time , I guess I should be headslapped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongRanger Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Cindy McCain back to her old tricks Here we go again. Just two months after we broke Recipegate comes news that Cindy McCain is up to her old tricks. The July 2008 issue of Family Circle featured an article in which each (it went to press before Hillary conceded) of the presidential candidates' significant others submitted a cookie recipe. A tipster caught a whiff of something besides sugar after reviewing Cindy McCain's Oatmeal-Butterscotch cookies, and quickly found the original recipe at Hersheys.com (see image below). While McCain, or that same low-level staffer, managed to take the time to switch a few minor details in her version of the recipe this time around, there is no doubt that the recipes are the same. While Bill Clinton gives credit to the family cook, and Michelle Obama to the godmother of her daughters, Cindy McCain attributes her cookie recipe to "a good friend." Unless John McCain was a childhood friend of Milton S. Hershey or her beer baron family worked with him on a chocolate beer bar back in the day, it seems Cindy is a plagiarist of the most delicious kind. Again.

1stSuperScot Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Do you honestly spend valuable time worrying about plagiarized cookie recipes... ...especially when our country could possibly be taken over by America-hating, race-baiting, socialist, elitist, terrorist- appeasing, Soros owing, Clinton-wannabes, i.e. the Obamas?
