It is wrong to criticize Cindy McCain for plagiarizing recipes from the Food Channel. After all, the ahi tuna and passion fruit mousse recipes were ginned up by some staffer, and were never even seen by Cindy McCain.
America should instead be focused on more important issues when it comes to John McCain. Like how his plan to suspend temporarily the federal gas tax would save the average American, driving 12,000 miles a year, a little more than $27 per year, or enough to buy a pound of ahi tuna through mail order. Or how his pledge to extend the Bush tax cuts for the super wealthy would allow multi-millionaires like John McCain to save over $123,600 a year — enough to buy nearly 2 1/2 tons of ahi tuna.
America should also remember that John McCain’s pledge to keep our troops in
Iraq for 50 to 100 years costs America $340 million per day, and that the $2 trillion that this war will cost would have been enough to provide every American household with renewable energy and enough fuel-efficient vehicles to remove our need to import any energy from Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela. And we would still have a few dollars left over to splurge on a seafood dinner, with passion fruit mousse for dessert.
Let’s keep our eyes on the real issues: not who stole what recipes, but how a third term of George Bush, in the person of John McCain, would be a disaster not only for the schools of ahi tuna, but for America and the world.
