With all that the communists within the Democratic Party have to worry and fret over, what with Parmley's resignation; the President's embarassing positions on energy and being a laughingstock at the Americas summit this week; this is the best that they could find today?
A controversy over cookies? I am literally laughing out loud! You know that TommyTomTomForNews is on top of all of the latest breaking talking points and spin from the DailyKos, the SLPC, the DemocraticUnderground, and various other hate sites, and this is all he could come up with today?
Again, a big, LOL!

Romney's cookie joke prompts 'Cookie Gate' attack
By Alicia M. Cohn - 04/19/12 08:01 AM ET
Mitt Romney clearly did not mean to "dis" a beloved local bakery near
Pittsburgh this week, but Democrats are leaping on his comments as
they work to paint the likely GOP nominee as out of touch with voters.
Romney, meeting with local residents Tuesday at an outdoor roundtable
event in Bethel Park, joked about some cookies and launched yet
another attack based on what critics call his aloofness to the daily
lives of Americans.
"I'm not sure about these cookies," Romney said, and continued to
tease one of the women at the table: "Did you make those cookies? You
didn't, did you? No. No. They came from the local 7-Eleven bakery or
wherever."
The cookies came from Bethel Bakery, a popular local spot, according to reports.
"We wanted him to be welcomed with the best in the 'burgh, and he had
no idea," bakery owner John Walsh told the local ABC affiliate WTAE.
"This guy has no idea how beloved this institution is that provided
these cookies."
On Twitter, the hashtag is #cookiegate, and the Democratic National
Committee was quick to make use of it.

The bakery is running a "Cookie Gate special" on Thursday, giving away
half a dozen cookies with the purchase of a dozen.
"I'm sure he meant it all in jest and didn't mean to slam a local
bakery," Bethel Bakery spokeswoman Julie Lytle told CNN. "It's nothing
that we want to get really upset about ... no reason to be angry.
We're just having fun with it."
But Walsh had one zinger for Romney in The Wall Street Journal later,
saying: "Let him eat cake next time."
It is not the first time Romney has been associated with Marie
Antoinette. When he compared President Obama to the famously
out-of-touch French queen last December, the DNC and Obama's campaign
fired back separately, suggesting it was a "laughable" charge from a
man who speaks French and is "a former corporate buyout specialist."
Romney's cookie comments will likely be added to a list of previous
comments that raised eyebrows, such as "corporations are people" and
"I'm unemployed."
But 7-Eleven, at least, accepted it as an innocent joke as well as a
plug for the chain.
"Actually, Mitt Romney got it right," 7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret
Chabris told the Journal. "There are bakeries dedicated to making
cookies every day for our 5,500 stores."
