McCain campaign blames recipe ‘debacle’ on ‘low-level unpaid’ staffer.»

[RedEarth]

Yesterday, Huffington Post reported that at least three McCain “family recipes” on a section of the senator’s presidential campaign site were “word-for-word copies of recipes on the Food Network site.” TMZ.com now reports that the McCain campaign has already taken down the recipes and is branding the affair a “low-level unpaid staff debacle.” The staffer in question has reportedly been “swiftly dealt with.”

1. repukes NEVER take responsibility for their lies, crimes, or anything. there is always

someone lower on the food chain to blame.

Even on something as insignificant as this, their true lack of honesty shows through.

7. Yeah, what's wrong with 'fessing up to something like this?

A real "man of the people" would make a joke of it and say something like, "My wife's recipe doesn't call for that much salt!" or something similar and then move on to more important issues at hand.

But the Repukes always have to place blame on "low levelers"

4. Yeah, and I'm sure this low-level staffer had nothing better to do

than troll recipe sites for new McSame family recipes.

Cindy forgot to tell him/her to change some of the words.

5. Perhaps if you paid your low-level staff...

they wouldn't fuck you over by plagiarizing material from The Food Network.
