Still haven't seen the damn scarf in any of the articles about it that I've read. But based on what I've heard and read it sounds like it was just a scarf.
Wasn't there also a time in this country where women used to wear scarves and head dressing a lot more than they do now? I don't think a lot of them had religion in mind then they did it then.
I don't know what's worse, DD bowing to the whims of a few deluded numpties in the right wing blogosphere, or the fact that said numpties have really put forth such an utterly ridiculous notion.
