Michelle Malkin: Idiot

Malkin, blogger and conservative darling, appears to be joining the ranks of Ann Coulter and Pat Robertson. On a recent blog post she lends support to an idea that Rachel Ray supports terrorists because she wore a black & white scarf on a Dunkin Donuts commercial. To me, such an assertion negates anything Malkin has to say. For someone whose livelihood is politics, she should have a better grasp of the world and realize that Ray, was just trying to sell donuts and doing what her stylist (bad stylist....) said. Saying someone is a terrorist because they wear a black & white scarf which doesn't even look like the headdresses that Yasser Arafat used to wear... well Malkin should be a lot more careful about who she calls clueless. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Even if Ray was wearing a keffiyeh, which she wasn't... it would probably be an insult to the terrorist wackos. They might even riot over such a thing.

Dunkin' Donuts Kills Rachael Ray Ad

DD's statement: In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by the stylist for the advertising shoot," Margie Myers, senior VP-communications for Dunkin' Brands, said in a statement. "Absolutely no symbolism was intended."

You would think someone who is a successful commentator would take the time to research a bit before she supports such an idiotic movement. Keffiyehs are typically made of heaven cotton or wool, Ray's scarf was silk. The Fatah Keffiyeh has a black and white spider-web like pattern, not paisleys. The Paisley pattern owes it's prominence to the East India Company. The design was from India (not Islamic) and was first mass produced in Paisley, Scotland. Of all things the design was believed to ward off evil spirits... well I'm not sure it worked for Rachel Ray.

This is just like McCarthyism, with the exception that it makes even less sense......

A lot of seemingly smart people have been saying stupid things... how about Sharon Stone's latest foot in mouth? (Stone is supposedly a MENSA member, you need to have a 140 IQ, or be a "genius")

Stone: "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," Stone said. "And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"

Yeah Stone... sure the Chinese are individually responsible for Tibet, because they get to play such an active role in the actions of their government..... sheeeesh. Last I heard it was still an oppressive communist nation, rife with human rights violations. That logic sounds a lot like Pat Robertson blaming hurricanes on homosexuals (CRAZY!!!!!).

It just goes to show, intelligence doesn't always equate to common sense.... or there are many different types of intelligence, and IQ tests don't necessarily capture this.
