Let Them Eat (Welsh) Cake

Although Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac bypassed leveling Tampa into little sea pebbles, another tempest of sorts is arriving in Tampa any moment now – a load of Welsh Cakes baked with Ann Romney's grandmother's recipe! That's correct! Ann will feed the RNC Convention-eers with these homey cakes to further expand their overly inflated appetites, and then, on her Big Night Tonight on the stage, she will attempt to humanize her husband's half-baked image through "softening" his image. Awwww. Ain't that sweet? Will those scone-like cakes help? Quick, someone run them through the TSA because who knows what Ann may have slipped into those oh-so-innocent pieces of Bakery Heaven! My guess would be some kind of drug that will magically transform cynical, reluctant GOPer's into a Love Frenzy with Mitts. The convention could become a Major Rave!

So, making cakes is what Ann Romney's contribution will be beyond a much-talked about speech? Oh, excuse me, Ann didn't actually bake the cakes, she just handed the recipe to her Head Chef and told him to do his job – STAT! I'm so happy Ann now has a Secret Service Detail guarding her and her cakes because, for all we know, Obama's peeps might want to have a taste and then spread rumours that they are "too Welsh" and completely un-American! Oh, my mistake. Obama's people wouldn't say such a thing. It's playing The Race Card and he doesn't do that sort of thing because the GOP does it for him by reminding everyone whenever possible that Romney is White and Obama is Not. Uh-huh.

In addition, mouthpieces such as Rush Limbaugh would be jumping on the "anti-American" aspect of the cakes' heritage because, were it anything but American Apple Pie if Michelle Obama had done the same for her husband's Political Base, ole' Rush would find a way to make that Apple Pie a tool of Socialism.

Sigh.
