King Uncovers Cookie Conspiracy

U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, went to a White House holiday function. And what was on the menu? Cookies and scandal.

Both go great with milk, incidentally.

From Fox News:

Any fan of Cookie Monster on Sesame Street knows that "C" is for cookie.

But at the Obama White House, "A" may be for acorn -- as in acorn cookies served at Monday's annual Christmas party.

The chocolate cookies shaped like an acorn were quite a hit with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

"I didn't expect to see such stark symbolism," King said in an e-mail

The cookies, obviously, were a confectionery White House nod to ACORN, the scandal-tinged community organizing group that clearly stole the 2008 election.

King, according to Fox, pocketed several of the cookies. He also made it out with a large smoked salmon. OK, I made that last part up.

Telegraphing coded political messages using butter, sugar, flour and a dash of vanilla is very clever indeed. And sources close to the presidential oven suggest it won't be the last time.

Other symbolic holiday cookiegrams are planned. We have obtained a secret recipe memo:

Official White House Cookie List

Red Stars with Socialist Sprinkles

Peppermint Bailouts

Marx Bars

Cashew Clunkers

Pecan Kenyas

Death Panel Brittle

Birther Bark

Glenn Beck Nut Clusters

Fist-Bump Fudge

Clearly, the vigilant congressman is going to need bigger pockets.

My family has acorn ornaments on our Christmas tree. It's a tradition started by my German ancestors, who considered them to be symbols of good luck and rebirth.

Little did they know.
