I Told You To Blame Doris Day

I came across this on one of my meandering www excursions

DORIS DAY AND JIHAD
Some time ago, you asked (rhetorically, one presumes) if Doris Day was the root cause of jihad, referring to jihad-godfather Sayeed Qutb's notorious shock from hearing a Day recording at a Colorado church function. Listening to your recent discussion with Roger L Simon on the decay of America's daily newspapers, however, I wondered if you were also familiar with the Doris Day movie Teacher's Pet, wherein the heroine educates old-school newspaperman Clark Gable into a modernized socialist journ-o-bore? Doris would seem to be at the root of many of the modern pathologies.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one blaming Doris, although not for anything as serious as Islamic extremism, socialism or poor journalistic standards - boy that woman has a lot to answer for.
