Both Sides Lie
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > John McCain
Something Republicans and Democrats have in common!
According to reports, former president and Democrat Bill Clinton AND the wife of presumed Republican nominee John McCain, Cindy, BOTH entered plagiarized recipes into Family Circle magazine's 5th Presidential Bake-Off.
Wife of Barack, Michelle Obama, also entered a recipe. Hers appears to be legit (for now).
The Clinton entry was reportedly swiped from the Betty Crocker cookbook and McCain's, from hershey.com.
Why bother entering if you can't come up with an original (or at least a handed-down family) recipe???

wow
Maybe they it's authentically theirs….just a whoopsies, that's all.
1st……maybe……whatever
Whateverrr. Who cares lol?
hahahaha lol thats funny shit….YaY OBAMA
OMG who freakin cares!!! What a world we live in if people have to investigate the RECIPES submitted by politicians. Anything to get dirt on the other party…its disturbing.
oh
THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT NEWS?????……
HOW'D YOUR FASHION (LOOSELY USED) LINE SELL IN VEGAS??????
NO POSTS???? INTERESTING?
I believe it was for cookies. They probably asked them to submit their favorite cookie recipe and so that is what they did. I'm so sure Bill Clinton has his on special recipe for anything.
That has to be the gayest picture of Bill I have ever seen.
BRODY JENNER HAS A small DICK!!!4REAL
Why the "for now" comment for Michelle? Was that necessary?
Nobody expects Cindy cooks or bakes…
they probably were handed down "family" recipes that some family member took and altered from other peeps… they probably didnt know about it themselves.
uh, yeah…like I believe they cook in the first place. Anyway, how many different ways can you make a chocolate chip cookie?
Oh please, can you even imagine Bill Clinton or Cindy McCain microwaving their own coffee? Much less slaving over a hot stove all day, perfecting some original pastry recipe. Hell, Cindy hasn't even touched a pastry since 1972.
99% of the recipes people "hand down" are taken from cookbooks by their grandmas! The point of this is to give your favorite recipe, not one you made up yourself. Who the hell makes up their own recipes besides Martha Stewart?
Btw, you do realize that's not a picture of Bill Clinton but rather a wax mannequin from Madame Tussaud's, right?
Considering how long the Betty Crocker cookbook has been around, it's totally become the source of most "Mom" recipes for the past 30 years or more. It's ENTIRELY possible that Bill gave Family Circle a recipe he remembered his mom cooking, never knowing where it came from.
And I don't know if Hershey has a similar cookbook but I do know that they have been printing recipes on their boxes of cocoa forever. So probably same thing happened to The Homewrecking Bitch.
Once again, Perez moves ever closer to being Star magazine. Check your facts idiot.
well perez unless you're a professional baker, it's hard coming up with your own recipe that turns out perfect. but i suppose a family recipe couldn't hurt.
ha who cares?
not everyone has a handed-down family recipe. Cindy's was not the exact recipe from hershey.com, but they also were told to submit their favorite cookie recipe. plus, many recipes are copied over and over again, how can anyone say for sure if she or he knew where the recipe came from?
Well, the article even says that the recipe was from Clinton's chef, so I don't know how you can say Clinton stole it or plagiarized. How do we know Betty Crocker didn't get the recipe from Clinton's chef? I was watching one of the cooking shows over the weekend, and to my surprised, watch someone make corn bread using the same "family recipe" my mom taught me when I was a kid.
maybe they were family recipes, except the family got it from the cookbook? My Nana makes an amazing zucchini pie…little did I know she got the recipe off the box of Bisquick pancake mix!! still delicious
Recipes cannot be copyrighted.
Politicos should not be baking, they should be running (or trying to run)
the united states of America. Soccer Moms are not as dumb as magazines
think. Makes me want to be libetrarian.
for God's sake. What an effin circus.
My MOM reads Family circle.
What about the guy in CA who BEAT A CHILD TO DEATH this week and thekids had to be identified by DENTAL RECORDS!
What does Obama/McCain say about that?
The Huffington Post doesn't lie? Perez, stick to sucking dick and stay away from politics
this is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yawn…who the hell cares??
Funnily enough, I just read the recipes in Family Circle today while I was in the doctor's office.
Yeah I really see McCain's wife as a Susie Homemaker type lol She is too fucking busy popping all the pills she stole from her charities…….and come on did anyone expect Bubba Clinton to have a fucking cookie recipe lol Hmmm yeah Teresa Hines did the same thing in 2004 as well. They should have learned from that, people do check …idiots
CINDY MCCAIN HAS THE BODY OF A THIRTY YEAR OLD BUT THE FACE OF SKELETOR!!!!
Shut up perez
Obama is the shittt
This is a totall non-issue! My favovite recipes are certainly not originals; they are either from friends, relatives, or recipe books. I did not make any of them up.
There are no ORIGINAL cookie recipes left. It has all been done before.
want another dumbass for prez? vote mccain! he ranked 894 out of 899 in his class at the naval academy. he also does NOT support the troops. he voted against the GI bill that would give troops funds for college and extended unemployment benefits.
Actually, I don't think any of them actually submitted their own recipes. Remember not too far back when Conan O'Brien was said to have submitted recipes on not one but two seperate occassions to Family Circle and it turned out not only had he never made them before, but he never even heard if it. He even said on his show that they wanted to make the Irish dishes sound more authentic.
Family Circle lies and should stop putting people's names attached to stuff that they aren't involved in.
USE THE SPELL CHECK DUMB FUCK. GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND GET AN EDUCATION.
You cannot copywrite a recipe. Most cookbooks get recipes from other sources. Only 'secret ingredients' can be protected, so there is infringement here.
Most family recipes are from cookbooks. Face it, how many true chefs do you know, people who CREATE recipes? It's rare, and having a family favorite found in a cookbook is no shame. It's also likely that someone copied that recipe and would have no idea from where, or when; it's just a damn recipe.
That "for now" comment is a dick move.
For the first time in my adult life I am proud to be an American…just because Michelle Obama's cookie recipe is legit. Bah!
Who cares? I mean really WHO THE FUCK CARES!? AND WHY OH WHY IZ THIS SUCH A HUGE BLOCK!?
Where'd you get THIS photo of Clinton? It's either from the late 80's, or the plastic surgeons took 20 years off of his face. I guess they'll do his eyes next.
Compare with other photos. Welcome back to 1985.
Hillary def. had her face done too.
This is news? We already knew the Obamas were perfect.
For more inciteful commentary check out the Blog Truth According toTom on spaces Live.
Isn't it possible that both may have thought a recipe was handed down? Who did they give credit to?
mccains wife is nasty look at her she looks like she had to many face lifts lol and what has done in her life really her husband brings the money if that lol i do not want her to be the first lady Michelle should be the first lady she is so smart and know what she wants
Oh please, I don't believe either would have interacted with that magazine directly for a freaking cookie recipe. Maybe reps for both just knew they needed a cookie recipe, knew of one they liked, and submitted it without researching its origin. It wasn't about them creating a recipe. Just about everyone passes along favorite cookie recipes in day to day life that they did not create.
The Family Circle bit with the cookies is beyond stupid anyway.
Uhh, at least they don't get all their food ORDERED IN like you, Perez. Who the hell cares where a recipe comes from?
um Cindy is a trophy wife, obamas wife looks like a neanderthal
i heart huckabees.
Doesn't surprise me one bit. It's probably the same thing when it comes to McCain and Obama. McCain is a liar (like the usual Politician) and Barack is an honest man - something America is not used to - that's why they can't understand Obama and remain confused about his sincerity. They are used to lying no good - whether they are republican or democrat old WHITE farts.
How many truly original cookie recipes are there anyway??
Re: Misso – Get a life and also who said the President's were baking dumb ass. And if they lie about a simple cookie recipe - GOD help us on the big things they tend to LIE about.
VOTE OBAMA. His wife and him are honest hard working American people, as they have demonstrated throughout this CIRCUS.
And this goes for the rest of you Haters, too, on this blog.
Damn, that's one icy looking bitch.
Re: ja –
Michelle Obama, unlike Cindy McCain, strikes me as the woman who will be proactive in her husband's presidency instead of just sitting back and looking pretty. Mrs. Obama is an intelligent, well educated woman who will make a great First Lady and will represent our country on behalf of President Obama well.
No doubt this is the first recipe in her adult life that Michelle Obama is proud of…
This was reported on a while back relative to Cindy. Her personal assistant admitted to copying the recipe & Cindy said she didn't know. That is still kind of bad because Cindy had he assistant submit something. However, the lady is amazing especially given all the money she has had all her life. With all the chrity work she does I will let this slide. As for Bill, he was probably too busy scoring chicks to have time to submit a legit recipe.
who cares….all recipes come from someone else anyway …about Obamas wife came from her roommate at college , whoom she stole after her roomie passed out from the brownies…….
Cindy McCain is well educated and pretty! Post more on Cindy Perez!!
Re: Kissy – Cindy McCain is a USC graduate!
I don't think the recipe has to be original, just the recipe they use. who makes up their own cookie recipes? if i was asked to submit my favorite cookie recipe, it would be the one my mother used–from her betty crocker cookbook. perez, don't you have anything better to do?
WTF??? who cares!?!?!?!?!
wtf? who cares?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
who gives a shit.
you people have way too much time on your hands if this is a big deal.
worry about what matters
Cindy McCain's neckline is so high in order to hide all the knobs and wires. Shiny, expensive robot girl!
This may be the dumbest thing you have ever posted Mario.
woah! bill's had some work done to his face!!! looks like he jumped on the two-fer deal… a neck lift and eye lift.
OMG OMG SHE LOOKS LIKE THE EMPEROR FROM STAR WARS!
SWITCHED AT BIRTH!!!!!!!!!
