Rating:  Summary: Here's something else to blame on Slick Willy ! ! ! Review: A Republican cook book?
Only in America. I've been to lots of bean bakes, goat ropings, tribal fairs, wooly sheep ridings and Republican teas -- and until now I thought Republicans lived by caterers alone. I'm shocked. Can America be a global hyperpower if Republicans learn to boil water without burning it, to cook macaroni and even make meat loaf?
Meat loaf? Would you believe a 'Bacon Cheeseburger Meat Loaf'? Granted, it's probably a little more tasty and nutritious than the meat loaf the Republican Sheriff Joke feeds prison inmates in Maricopa County. But then, these are seriously delicious recipes. By the same token, there isn't a recipe for any Democratic beans, hot dogs or baking powder (cowboy) biscuits. In other words, this is an Original Meaning all Natural Law and Back-to-Basics Republican cookbook. It'll do your Constitution good.
After years of cooking the books, it's nice to know Republicans can now cook an "Irene Halligan's Mighty Mac and Cheese" dish. As for secrets, this book also explains the mystery of those WMDs no one could find in Iraq; the initials really mean 'Whiskey of Much Delight' and refers to Jack Daniels. For the Born Again crowd, there's a 'Jack Daniel Died for Your Sins Whiskey . . . recipe.' It calls for "2 tablespoons Jack Daniel's Black Label." Now, you just known any Democratic recipe would start with "1 quart store brand vodka . . . "
It's a fun book. You you want to know just how authentic it is? Let me tell you. Right up front, in the "Acknowledgements," Townsend blames the Clinton administration.
I kid you not.
She writes, ". . .a special and heartfelt thanks to the Clinton administration who taught me the most valuable lesson of all: in America, you can get away with anything, including a cookbook called 'How to Eat Like a Republican'." It's almost as if Dick Cheney wrote the introduction.
It's a fun book. Republicans can have a ton of laughs reading about "Spotted Dick Nixon" (suet and raisins), "Pat Buchanan's Buffalo Right Wings" and "Rush's Mom's Fluffy Potato Casserole" (it explains why he's as smart as a boiled potato). Care for some "DAR Deviled Eggs"? How about an "Unimpeachable Peach Cobbler" in case Slick Willy comes to visit? Or an "Calvin Cooler" (named for the president, not the comic strip). Thirsty? Try Dad's Margarita" (4 ounces Jack Daniels Black Label, ice).
Maybe it's anominous omen for November, "If you can't stand the heat in the Oval Office, get into the kitchen." If that happens, look for a Democratic sequel next year, "How to Order Lunch at the Country Club without Sounding Like a Democrat."

Rating:  Summary: Extremely funny and useful Review: Not just for your republican friends. Democrats will get a good laugh from this one too but surely won't enjoy the recipes as much. These will be Christmas gifts for many of our friends but shhh, don't tell them.
Rating:  Summary: Yes it's true! Review: This book sums up the attitude that allot of Americans seem to have today. Live the life of gluttony and ignore what's good for our future.
