The Republic you save may be your own.

Allahpundit is incredulous. I mean, what else can you be at this point? Quick recap: Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren (D) listed herself as a Native American in a professional law directory for at least nine years, and still maintains that she is being truthful about her "identity." Documents show that two of the Ivy League law schools that hired her excitedly touted her as a minority or faculty member -- though she now insists that her "ethnicity" played no role whatsoever in her hiring process. Sure. Much searing scrutiny, and several hilarious explanations later, we now know that there is zero evidence that Warren has any Native American lineage. The only proof she's been able to offer is an anecdote about her grandfather having high cheekbones -- "like all the Indians do"(!) -- and the fact that she once contributed five recipes to a cookbook entitled, "Pow Wow Chow," in which she's listed as Cherokee. I'm not kidding. But here's the unreal shark jump...
Two of the possibly plagiarized recipes, said in the Pow Wow Chow cookbook to have been passed down through generations of Oklahoma Native American members of the Cherokee tribe, are described in a New York Times News Service story as originating at Le Pavilion, a fabulously expensive French restaurant in Manhattan. The dishes were said to be particular favorites of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Cole Porter.
The two recipes, “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat” and “Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing,” appear in an article titled “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat,” written by Pierre Franey of the New York Times News Service that was published in the August 22, 1979 edition of the Virgin Islands Daily News, a copy of which can be seen here. Ms. Warren’s 1984 recipe for Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing is a word-for-word copy of Mr. Franey’s 1979 recipe.
Mrs. Warren’s 1984 recipe for Cold Omelets with Crab Meat contains all four of the ingredients listed in Mr. Franey’s 1979 recipe in the exact same portion but lists five additional ingredients. More significantly, her instructions are virtually a word for word copy of Mr. Franey’s instructions from this 1979 article.
So this 0/32 "Native American" is even cribbing "family" recipes from the New York Times (!) news service and trying to pass them off as passed-down-through-the-years, authentic Cherokee fare? The word 'pathetic' doesn't even begin to cover this material. Questions: (1) What isn't she ripping off or lying about? (2) At what point do we discover that her real name is Nicole or something? AP adds to the fun:
Among the ingredients for Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing: “Imported mustard,” Worcestershire sauce, cognac, and of course crab, all presumably readily available to a, er, 19th-century agrarian Cherokee settlement in Oklahoma.
Remember, she pointed the media to 'Pow Wow Chow' to, um, "substantiate" her heritage. For the second time during this saga, I'm rendered speechless. This is a full-fledged trainwreck, and Scotty Brown's camp is starting to solicit donations over it. Go for it, man. Two parting items, via our bud Mary Katharine Ham. First, an inquiry for our legal beagle readers: If proven, is plagiarizing anything -- even recipes -- considered a serious academic violation? Second, just enjoy this masterful piece of satire:
Ken Burns Presents: Elizabeth Warren's Campaign Trail of Tears
Care to guess how many bits edgy, brave, truth-to-power comedian Jon Stewart has done on this circus? None. I guess this whole thing just isn't funny.
Just hope Obama's composite geneology - soon - becomes as transparent as Elizabeth Warren's.
Needless to say; for those with 20/20 vision; it already is.
And, for same; has long been. . .
LOL!
The reviews are a riot!
Mylife, check it out!
Blumenthal. We have our own fake war vet here in Illinois, Mark Kirk "R" U.S. Senator, rino speaks with forked tongue.
LOL!!!
So Princess Premise Running Thin’s secret a name is Plagiarizes Other’s Words.
Made my Fri evening. Thanks
Elizabeth Warren is kinda off the reservation on her roots - calling Alex Haley. Someone said the other day the closest she came to a Cherokee was one of the ancestors harassing them on the Trail of Tears.
“I’ve received nothing but rave reviews from my colleagues after whipping up treats from this cookbook in the faculty lounge kitchen. Admirers of Pow Wow Chow may also enjoy Bow Wow Chow, a Indonesian-influenced cookbook from a former professor now in politics. “
ROFLMAO.
Cherokees were also known for their love of imported mustards... Went well with the crabs from the great Gulf of Oklahoma...
Your mom's good!
“Could her plagarized recipes be any whiter!”
Nope. If you’ve ever seen “Undercover Brother”, you know that the key to “whitening up” a recipe is mayonaisse!
*groan* Good one!
Thanks for the link! Those were a riot.
LOL! That was awesome.
“Warren is now a cheat, liar, & thief.
If elected, she will be an excellent representative of Liberal values.”
Yes, it appears she has worked hard to establish these credentials and is relying on the sheeple of Massachusetts to give her a pass on grounds that “mean” Scott Brown is attacking her merely because she is a woman.
Yes she is! Pretty sharp for her age.
More likely, the majority are committed, immoral socialists who know exactly who & what EW is, & they are perfectly satisfied to support a fraud, believing some of the fraud might benefit them. They do business & have relations in a fraudulent way. Why would they expect better from their representatives?
Recall that MA fawned over a drunken, adulterous murderer as their Senator for decades.
No doubt Warren will beat Brown, because MA wants the best frauds money can buy representing them in the crime capital of America - Washington, DC. Sending an honest rep to WDC is like bringing a water balloon to a gun fight. "Smart" MA voters want the best liar, cheat, & thief they can get, just to stay in the game in WDC.
“She never claimed that she was born in Kenya. “
That is only because she never met anyone from Kenya she wanted to have lunch with.
