I sleep more soudly now that the Rachael Ray terror threat has been neutralized!

yet another great triumph for, for, for .... something-or-another, but certainly not common sense.

Seems that Ms. Ray, in her capacity as a pitchwoman for Dunkin' Donuts, made an egregious political, if not fashion, statement  -- she posed for an ad wearing a checkered scarf.  Conservative columnist/blogger Michelle Malkin claimed that it looked like the keffiyeh, the traditional headdress worn by many Arab men and Pally terrorists [one and the same to most of us, to be sure].  Hey, and  take a look at the structure over Ray's left shoulder  -- no doubt the pic is just an excuse to surveil a potential terror target.

Well, before you could say Israel Lobby/AIPAC/Likud/Alan Derschowitz/Abe  Foxman/regime change/neoconservatives/War On Terror/Ehud Olmert payoffs,  etc... DD corporate told the very brave and totally expected decision to pull said offending ads.

I tell ya, accessorizing, it can be a real bitch.

That Ray is a Pally sympathizer is too ridiculous to be credited for even a billionth of a nanosecond.  Or so you'd like to think.  Well, apparently not. She is as non-political as my neighbor's newborn.  Probably the only threat Ray poses is by virtue of her preternatural perkiness and questionable recipes. Ray and her spokespeople have maintained a very discreet silence over this, no doubt figuring they'll never win, so WTF, why get in any deeper?  And what sane person could really blame them?

I might remind folks that Dunkin Donuts in the same company that appx 10 years ago used NYC's former mayor, Ed Koch, as a paid spokesman.  "Israel's Mayor,"  as I used to call him.  Apparently, that malignant motormouth who has never met an act of Israeli aggression, suppression or oppressionm of the Pallys he couldn't fervently support is NOT a problem.  Go figure.

There is an on-line petition making the rounds to garner support for Ray.  No doubt signed by a bunch of duped sheep with no clue about The Global War on Terror.  There's also a real good chance that the signers hate America and are Godless to boot.  And, inevitably, they'll vote for Senator Obama.
