Maureen Dowd’s question is answered
From a MoDo piece that we’ve previously excerpted:
If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?
Answer: Michael Yon and Joan Rivers. (Moral of the story: pass healthcare now, and in secret, because it’s clear that government bureaucrats need even more power over the American people.)

Wow, MoDo actually said something remotely intelligent. Color me shocked. SHOCKED!, I say.

At least they did not handcuff Joan Rivers. In fact, it was probably not TSA agents who delayed her, but some overzealous airline ticket clerk. F

In possible defense of the CO agent who pulled Joan Rivers off the flight, her passport could be older and the picture may not look a bit like her now. Glad she has kept her sense of humor about the episode.
