While streaming Barack Obama’s speech about race last week, MSNBC.com also, of course, ran some advertising; however, it may not have been the wisest choice of product placement.
Check it out:
Oh no, they di-in’t! Other inappropriate presidential hopeful cookies include:
Ron Paul for Nutter Butter: Rich, but nutty through and through
John McCain for Dinosaur Grrrahams
Hillary Clinton for Ferrara Biscotti: A tough, blonde cookie that’s hard for some people to digest
John Edwards for Ritz Crackers
Any other ideas? Do tell!

I saw an ad for FUDGE cookies on one of Hillary’s broadcasts. I forget the brand, but I think they’re from Bosnia and are manufactured under heavy fire. hee hooo! : )

John Edwards is sexy. I’d eat his cookie…what? Did I say that? He rather looks like my boyfriend, who is also a politician. I think many of them start to look alike…slick, suited, with that hair…

My product placement choices are:
Edwards for Sunshine Cheez-Its
Clinton for Snackwells - i.e. promises much and doesn’t deliver
Obama for Teddy Grahams - he just looks soooo cuddlesome and adorable
Slightly off-topic: Larry Craig for Fudge Shoppe (low ball I know, but I loathe and detest that man) and Bill Clinton for Wheat Thins - they go great with spinich dip.

14: Snicker, good one. I believe the Bosnian fudge cookies are called “Pretrazivaca”. I am expecting to be under fire myself shortly seeing as I just copied and pasted from a random Bosnian web site with no clue what that means. Or perhaps Bosnians are a little more chill than your pals from the land of Abba were the other day?
Candy: This is premium, really cheered me up after getting home late on a Friday from work

barack obama is cookie dough-has potential, but needs more a lot time in the oven before i’m willing to digest it. and if we eat it now, it might taste good at first but will leave us feeling sick because it was premature to embrace it.
i think huckabee is a cheese doodle, full of cheese and bad for our health.

Martini Lover: Good call on the cookie dough analogy! I thought Huckabee was a health nazi though? Therefore I think he’d be one of those hideous “protein bars” that are actually chock full of sugar and taste revolting. No doubt his rockin’ band “Capitol Offense” could run off a few good jingles for adverts showcasing both the products and his “wholesome” family values. *dry retches*.
