This week, smooth operator Mitt Romney offended a group of supporters by accusing them of bringing him cookies from 7-Eleven. The cookies were, in fact, from Bethel Bakery, a local institution eager to share their famous treats with the presidential candidate. In addition to inspiring a "cookie-gate" special at Bethel Bakery, the incident brings to mind other times when politics and baked goods have intersected. From Hillary Clinton opting not to “stay home and bake cookies” to affirmative action bake sales, see other political cookies.
