I guess we can all see where this blog is going if Hillary does get elected...
This particular post in in regards to Hillary's recent media whoring. Hillary had a guest spot on Saturday Night Live last Saturday. I actually find it difficult to look at her because she makes me so angry. Also, last week she appeared on another New York favorite, the Late Show with David Letterman.
On Letterman, Hillary came on in a spot and said, "If you go to Hillaryclinton.com right now you can find my recipe for Snicker doodle Cookies." So, I, a cookie fan, decided to give it a shot and went to her website. Sure enough, there was a recipe for Snicker doodle cookies on her front page (it is not on her front page any longer). To Hillary's credit, she actually told the truth on Letterman. There is a first time for everything. I believe this whole chain of events is a microcosm for why Hillary should not be President.
The first thing is that when I clicked on the recipe, it came up as Cat Cora's Snicker doodle recipe. Hillary could not even tell the truth about whose recipe it was! Seriously? Yes, seriously. How can we trust a President who is lying to our faces about cookies? What would it have hurt her to say, "If you want a GOOD Snicker doodle recipe go to my website."? I know you may think I just misheard it. Thank you youtube, here is the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rfTmE4NGdX8. I just think it is pretty telling that she could not even tell the truth about this.

(As a post script to this first problem I am now putting Cat Cora, a Mississippian, on notice of a boycott for supporting someone who maligned her home state so badly. If Cat keeps selling out her fellow Mississippians, she shall feel my wrath.)
The second problem I had with Cookiegate is the fact that she put a cookie recipe on her website at all. Hillary is supposed to be representing enlightened, empowered women on par with any man. It makes me wonder how many Presidential candidates in history have felt that they needed a cookie recipe to garner votes. It reminds me when about a year ago, the Women Law Student group had a bake sale to raise funds for something. Seriously, pick a gender role. Either be liberated or don't, you cannot be everything. If I were a woman, I think I would feel a little betrayed by all of Hillary's crying and Cookiegate.
That's all I have to say at the moment.
