[This from Media Matters.]"The scandal du jour on the campaign trail is the revelation that 'family recipes' posted in Cindy McCain's section on her husband's campaign website were apparently lifted from the Food Network. To beat back the inexplicable firestorm over ahi-tuna-gate, the campaign has said it was an unpaid intern who posted the recipes."
Right.
But George Zornick rightly asks why in God's name would an unpaid intern have "a final editorial voice on the website of the Republican nominee for president?"
If the unpaid intern story is true, which is open to question, then, as Zornick points out, other questions are raised. About money and "McCain's significant financial handicap."
An article by John Heilemann in New York magazine noted that McCain has only four full-time financial staff persons, and that he is way behind Obama and Clinton in total amount of monies raised. McCain: $11 million total. Obama: $40 million.
So what's going on here?
I still want to know if Cindy plagiarized those recipes!

He might be our next president anyway.Why get his wife involved anyway. No president can control his wife. Ever since Carter wives have been silent figures with no influence until Hillary, I am told. Carter had his wife sit in on Cabinet meetings, but that didnl't count. That was a failed presidency anyway. Bush sits in at his cabinet meetings but apparently doesn't listen or read too well. Maybe Laurta reads to him at bedtime.
