Sometimes a Scarf is Just a Scarf. Usually, Actually.

Ya'll have heard about that one wing nut named Michele Malkin? Do you remember the idiotic story about her launching some hate mongering campaign against Rachel Ray? The reason for that was because Ray was in some ad for Dunkin Doughnuts wearing a scarf that clearly was NOT a Keffiyeh, but was too close to one for Malkin's tender loony sensibilities.

That was back in (as recently as) 2008. Flash forward to the now. Seems I can't watch a news clip of the troopers or marines in either Afghanistan or Iraq with out seeing Americans in uniform wearing one. Hell, a few weeks ago I noticed that the age old Army Navy store in NYC on 42nd and 8th Ave were selling some of the "military" versions. And when I googled it (before starting to type this) I found the IDF one!

So will Malkin ever apologize for her hateful insanity over something that really even wasn't really one? Don't hold your breath. And that my friends is yet another reason wing nuts really suck.
