Celebrity Deathmatch: Raechel Ray vs Michelle Malkin

By Ed Brayton

Good god. On the Ridiculous Overreaction Scale this one is an 11. The right wing blogosphere has its panties all bunched up over an ad for Dunkin Donuts with Rachael Ray in it, where she's wearing black and white scarf with a vague resemblance to the one Yasser Arafat wore on his head for so long. Little Green Footballs accuses Dunkin Donuts of "mainstreaming terrorism to sell donuts." Michelle Malkin says she's willing to give DD and Ray the benefit of the doubt - for now.

Jesus Christ, these are the same people who think Judas Priest encourages their fans to kill themselves backwards on their records and thinks Tinky Winky is gay. Get a grip. I doubt the perpetually vacuous Raechel Ray even knows who Arafat is, for crying out loud. May all these idiots drown in a vat of EVOO.
