Kelty Cake Baker Comes Clean

Marvin Hoot has a letter to the editor today that admits his wife was the baker of the infamous Kelty birthday cake. It was a nice gesture by Hoot to publicly try and deflect some of the criticism coming from the Kelty campaign. Personally, I don't think any of the cake fallout should be blamed on the Hoots.

Every candidate is responsible for their own actions and events. The cake should've been recognized as a political liability and been removed. Kelty should've never went anywhere near it and being photographed holding the outhouse wasn't the best decision - posting the photos on the campaign website was even worse. To top it all off, when Nelson Peters called Kelty about the cake, Kelty acted like he didn't know what he was talking about.

None of these missteps can be blamed on Hoot or his wife. The blame for the cake fiasco lies squarely on the shoulders of the Kelty campaign...

Too bad they didn't use "non-stick" bakeware. . .
