No offense, but Palin can't even get her cookies straight.
Pennsylvania says Palin crumbled cookie policy
Proposed guidelines suggest, but don't mandate, more nutritious school treats.

Despite Sarah Palin's recent remarks that Pennsylvania is considering a "ban" on sweets at school parties, state education officials say they have no interest in laying down the law on cookies and cupcakes.
For nearly six months, the state Board of Education has been weighing new school nutrition guidelines that encourage healthier food choices, but they wouldn't create any no-cookie mandates.
"This proposed regulation does not impose requirements or sanctions about classroom parties," said state Department of Education spokesman Steve Weitzman. "We are not counting cookies or limiting parties."
Palin, adored by many in the small-government tea party movement, suggested in a speech at Plumstead Christian School on Tuesday night and in postings to her Twitter account that Pennsylvania is thinking of limiting sweets at school, an idea she mocked as the "nanny state run amok."
"I heard there is a debate going on in Pennsylvania about whether public schools are going to ban sweets, cakes, cookies, that type of thing," Palin said at the school to a chorus of laughs. "So I had to bring to these private school students, to show them how privileged they are, I brought dozens and dozens of cookies to these students."
Palin is an idiot. Period.
