Rachel Ray Knows What I Want!

 

As unprofessional as it might seem for a presidential candidate to admit this sort of thing, I feel strongly that I must say that I have grown quite fond of the bewitching Rachel Ray. I find that she and I speak on the same level, enjoy the same intellectual pastimes, and are deeply and spiritually attuned on certain scholarly subjects. It was not the delightful corn de-stringing video [ 2 ] that a friend sent me that caught my attention, but Ms. Ray's charming and intellectual commentary about various eating establishments that she graced us with in this delightful video.

I was immediately captivated her expressive articulation, and spellbound by her dramatic command of the language. Clearly this is a genuinely cerebral woman that understands the very depths of my inner soul!

I must admit that previously I have been remiss in the Rachel Ray Department. I did an entire post about the growing American Dunkin' Donuts/keffiyeh crisis and did not even mention her name, even though she was the immediate focus of Michelle Malkin's ridiculous vitriolic.

I have corrected this grievious error on my part by watching Ms. Ray's television program this morning. On the program she had the actors from the film Watchmen as guests, then she did makeover for two women to make them look older, and then came the the important part of the program - she prepared food! That's what I call television.

Now, I know that Ms. Ray has many critics and detractors that are envious of her many accomplishments and intellectual prowess. To them I say, Fiddlesticks! clearly Ms. Ray is a misunderstood visionary for a new age, with the ability to set fire to the imagination of people around the world. And she cooks!

Ms. Jill Hunter Pellettieri of Slate Magazine wrote a most worthy article on the subject, "Rachael Ray: Why food snobs should quit picking on her." But perhaps Ms. Ray says it best in her own words:

Rachael Ray tells In Touch that she has one thing to say to critics who run web sites like IHateRachaelRay: "You're right!" In an exclusive interview, Rachael says she understands why some find her annoying. "Most of the people who criticize me are absolutely correct," she says. "I'm loud. I'm goofy. I don't make my own pierogies. But what am I going to do, call them up and fight with them? You don't deal with the people who don't like you. I don't work for them."

Rachael blames the backlash on the fact that she spends time in people's homes every day through her show. "That's an intimate connection," she explains. "If you try to be something you're not, people will see through it." She isn't concerned about how she looks, either. "I haven't been on a scale since I was 12," Rachael says. For exercise, she does "the bare minimum so I can feel good enough to work: sit-ups and push-ups. I'm not an actress, I'm a cook. I'm sure I have been five or six different sizes since I have been on television, but I don't care. celebitchy.com

Anybody that can piss off Jim Cramer on a daily basis is OK by me.
