Cindy McCain, cookie thief?

The wife of the presumptive GOP nominee has been accused of recipe plagiarism -- again -- but that only provokes a larger question: Why is anyone asking a potential first lady for recipes?

    Are We SURPRISED Cindy McCain Would Have to Steal a Recipe?!

    Come on now. Cindy McCain's a gazillionaire who made her fortune the old-fashioned way: She's inherited a shitload of money from her wealthy family.

    Does anyone think she's ever broken a sweat over a mixing bowl? Does she even know what an oven IS?

    Can't you picture what her "family recipe" for cookies REALLY is?:

    1. Pick up phone.

    2. Call kitchen.

    3. Have Beulah bring up a plate of cookies.

    4. Re-apply makeup.

    5. Put on steel-toed stiletto boots in case Grampy sees the war paint and calls me a "cunt" again.
