Food personality Rachael Ray and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand are so on the same page! They love hanging out together whenever they can, especially when it involves feeding thousands of NYC public school children, totally awesome grub, or campaigning in Washington for better school nutrition. Ray actually grew up in her BFF's former congressional district in upstate NY, so it's no wonder the two get along so handsomely.
But then, some reporter had to stick their camera in Ray's Keffiyeh-wearing face, and ask her how Gillibrand is doing at her job. And unlike her beloved, rabid pit bull Isaboo, her reaction was a little slow... and awkward, to say the least. You can enjoy/mock the video of this bungled moment in friendship below:
