When a Munchkin is not just a Munchkin

Leave it to Katie Couric to politicize donut eating. After admitting on her CBS blog that she likes Dunkin’ Donuts Munchkins (and French vanilla coffee), she felt compelled to add: “Micro-targeters would tell you [eating] Dunkin’ Donuts means I’m a Republican. If I was having a skinny double latte from Starbucks, I’d be a Democrat. What if you’re a bi-café java consumer?” Say what? In fact, it was a Democrat, Bill Clinton, who elevated donut passion to the highest office in the land (though he reportedly preferred Krispy Kreme), and it’s a conservative talk-show host, Laura Ingraham, who’s constantly touting Starbucks.
