Rachel Ray, Dunkin Donuts, and keffiyeh.

Dunkin' Donuts has yanked a commercial featuring tv cooking personality Rachael Ray because of complaints that she is promoting terrorism. In the ad, "the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men." Right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin was pleased with the response, stating, "It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists." The scarf has also been spotted on Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) daughter.

Interesting as Dunkin Donuts is co owned by the Carlye Group and Dubai as well as Canada. Now who's kidding who here. Is McCain's daughter supporting the Middle East now. The tricks are getting old. Dubai has an airlines that comes to California now nothing is said or done about it. But wearing a scarf is a problem. It's more proof of how dumb Americans have become. I think the scarf looks nice and if I saw one I'll buy it and wear it proudly.
