Ok, so have you heard about the recent right-wing faux controversy featuring America's sweetheart and a third-rate Food Network "chef" gone talk show host? Yeah, our beloved Dunkin' Donuts has been tainted by that undercover terrorist Rachel Ray. Just ask Michelle Malkin, who wrote about this highly important issue.See, Rachel Ray's stylist has style. And, she found this crazy cute white scarf with a paisley pattern for Rachel to use in her latest Dunkin' Donuts commercial. Random Aside: I heard that Rachel doesn't even like Dunkin' Donuts coffee and she's a total diva on the commercial set.
Anyway, apparently that cute white scarf looked a lot like a keffiyeh. Now, according to Internet source of power, Wikipedia, a keffiyeh is defined as a traditional Arab headdress, and the white and black variety is considered a symbol of Palestinian nationalism. Ok, so what? But if you're like Michelle Malkin and her cronies, it's "jihadi chic" and "hate couture".
Poor Dunkin' Donuts ended up pulling their ad to satisfy the .0005 percent of people offended by the fashion choice who probably don't appreciate the glory of their product anyway. What a waste of money -- even though less Rachel Ray on the airwaves isn't exactly a bad thing. That's a personal preference though.
But, have faith in America people. Even Michelle Malkin's followers thought this faux controversy was retarded. Just read the comments, and go buy a bear claw or something.

Ok. First that "controversy" is ridiculous. Second. I like RR. She may be over the top, but there is something about her. I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't like her shows and she is too cheesy for me, but I still can't not like her.
Doesn't make sense, I know.
Hmmmm
Rachael Ray actually used to really bug me, but then I realized watching the $40 a day show could be a fun comic distraction. Every time she takes a bite of something and says--with so much animation--that it's sooooo good, well, it just gets funnier and funnier.
Also, I like to think she's boozed up the whole show. Pretty sure there's even a healthy helping of Bailey's Irish Cream in that DD iced beverage.
