Who knew keffiyehs came in paisley?

Wonkette (and everyone else under the sun) shoot fish in a barrel.

I find this funny because I've had the same thing happen to me. In fact, the person who had Armand's job before him was warming up to give me a stern lecture about wearing a keffiyah, its cultural significance etc and so forth (which, as a long time student of comparative politics, I was acquainted with already) and I think was warming up to make sweeping generalizations and get busy with some tsk-tsking about my (presumed) politics. I think I must have given him the "are you fucking stupid" look as I unwound my buffalo plaid scarf and held it out to him saying "you mean this?.

So, yeah, Rachael Ray, I feel your pain (even if you do endorse sucky coffee).

I read somewhere today that DD pulled the ad, and included a statement explaining that RR was wearing a silk paisley scarf NOT a keffiyeh. Duh. I mean, who's really thinking about international politics while enjoying a tasty boston creme?
