Olbermann Names Dunkin' Donuts Worst Person In The World, Calls For Boycott

Wednesday night on "Countdown," Keith Olbermann declared Dunkin' Donuts his "Worst Person in the World" for caving to the lunatic fringe and pulling an ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that the far-right thought was too Arab looking.

"They were as weak of their decaf," Olbermann said of the donut and coffee company, and proposed a boycott of the company:

How about this? How about the rest of us boycott Dunkin' Donuts for giving into fascists like Michelle Malkin? And for giving weight to perhaps the most absurd idea the lunatic fringers have ever belched forth: that there are terrorist scarves! Terrorist scarves! Dunkin Donuts: time to stop buying the donuts.

Watch, and be sure to notice 1:05 in when, in reference to Time critic James Poniewozik's critique of him, Olbermann says (of Joe Lieberman), "I'd lapse into self-parody here, Senator, and mock you, but obviously you're doing too good a job mocking yourself."

I'm just glad they pulled a Rachel Rey commercial . Thank goodness one less show or commercial with that annoying slag and I'm happy!!

[topper2t]

I will never ever eat a Dunkin Donut again!

[tombollocks]

Dunkin' Donuts should have also been called "Worst TASTING Donut In The World".

But hell, we already knew that...

[rwe]

between obamagasm and olbermanson and lame attacks on McCain.. Is that all there is to Huff... Notice that Bill Oreilly has another picture on Olberman.

[vocalist]

When he is going to name Mathews as the worse person of the year ?

[vocalist]

When did Huffington Post became an Olberman watch site ?
Being a Barack Obama site is a very smart buisness decision...but having Olberman all over the post ?

Come on..not a smart move at all, he used to be watchable and now disintigrating for his television demise...by the fault of his own.

[spqesq]

Whatever.... Olberman rules. Here's one for you. If you can't handle KO, don't click on the link. Helllooo!?!

[PC0207]

What an idea! If you don't like what's written, don't read it! I find it all totally hiliarious...goooo Keith!

[robiform]

I see that you too have noticed that the HuffPo trolls lead such interesting lives that they feel compelled to read and post on a site that purportedly disgusts them. In the immortal words of William Shatner on Saturday Night Live many years ago: "GET A LIFE!!"

Oh, yes, joint the Dunkin Donuts boycott--the stuff is bad for you anyway!

[Jinxykb]

If you make news you're on Huffpo. Olbermann just happens to make news a lot.

[jaschrod]

I saw a man wearing a shirt, and trousers the other day, just like the people that carried out 9/11. In fact I just returned from down town, and I think we have been infiltrated, because there were many people there wearing shirts,and trousers.

[jmc42]

If Dunkin was smart they would have their logo on a scarf and give them away as a promotion
for American Coffee (AC = oxymoron). Then everybody could get one and the "people of fear mongering", a/k/a GOP right-wing nuts will be driven crazy.

jaschrod,
I'd hate to see all those men wearing shirts and trousers wearing nothing.
Perhaps Dunkin could come up with a MIddle Eastern like caftan for the men.

BTW, remember that dunkin donuts is an anagram for "unkind donuts"

[walk0nwalls]

Clearly there are terrorists everywhere. Just as I speak I have seen no less than 15 terrorists walk by.

Strangely there seem to be more terrorists around summertime. I think they grow like plants.

[PuffAndStuff]

Proposing a boycott of a company and it's products ... which confirms that Keith Olbermann *is* Bill O'Reilly, just with different idealogies.

[BLinCincinnati]

You seriously need to look up the word "sarcasm" in the dictionary.

Here, I'll help you: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=sarcasm

[POINT84]

Actually Buddy, he was making fun of the idea and O'Really

[pfc1369]

If the likes of Michelle Malkin now dictate, we are truly in a heap of trouble.

[conscioushope]

Michelle Malkin needs to go away and eat her doNUTS with other likeminded donut holes.

[Witchitalineman]

You are right.

[Earl]

If a donut doesn't have Kreme in the middle, you don't know what you might be eating.

[prcleburne]

This argument has a hole in it.

[spqesq]

...circular at best.

[Abroad]

Is Countdown the official HuffPo TV outlet?

How about linking to real news and quality investigative reporting. For example, Frontline aired an excellent documentary about corruption at the border onTuesday, it's available on their website.

Just because KO can't stand Bush. doesn't mean everything he says needs to be emphasized.

[ladyv]

I don't think Bush has been photographed wearing a Scarf of Terror. The twins, probably, since they are female, under the age of 40, and live in America.

[misanthropexlife]

Thank you.

[spqesq]

It's called humor. Make time for it. Life is short.

[rich3324]

Rachael Ray is a hard working, bright women who is living the American dream. She is what is good about America. If she is wrong than its an indictment against what this country stands for. Well I for one am not going to let Michelle Malkin bad mouth America.

[awcbuddy8]

Wow, what happened to that hope for bi-partisanship you were spewing?


And don't get lazy. The right is not a thing. We don't move as one. Are name is not legion for we are many. Give me a break, freaking darche.

[yorfutrxhsbnd]

Look on the bright side. This gives everyone an additional reason to stop eating a food with no nutritional value.

[skepticalindenver]

When Dunkin Donuts starts airing that ad again, I'll go buy coffe and donuts 3 times a week from them. Let's reward them if they show the courage to stand up to idiots like Malkin that try to set the agenda for everything. She is a lunatic.

[Enid]

don't worry Dunkin

Homer Simpson still loves you.

[marignymitch]

No, not even Homer. His brand is Lard Lad.
