"Clueless" star Stacey Dash wants everyone to know she's not politically clueless. The actress has taken to Twitter to defend herself against critics after publicly endorsing?Mitt Romney -- many of them pelting her with racially tinged digs.
On Sunday, the 46-year-old star tweeted, "Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future. @mittromney @teamromney #mittromney #VOTE #voteromney," and attached a photo of herself mugging it up in a Baywatch-style bathing suit -- complete with ginormous life preserver! -- in front of an American flag.

"So disappointed to see people attacking @REALStaceyDash for voicing her opinion," she wrote. "Disagree politically, but #racist attacks are unacceptable."
