The 'Terrorist' Wore Blahniks

Sure, SpongeJihadiBombPants, sans passport and luggage, gets on two jets, no problemo. But Joan Rivers--now she's downright scary. From the New York Daily News:
LOS ANGELES - Joan Rivers is many things: Funny lady. Jewelry mogul. Red carpet mercenary. But a terrorist?
Can we talk?
Rivers, 76, was deemed a danger to national security and booted from a Newark-bound flight in Costa Rica on Sunday by a jittery Continental Airlines gate agent who found the two names on her passport fishy.
Her passport reads: Joan Rosenberg AKA Joan Rivers. Rosenberg was her late husband's last name.
The "nasty and cruel" Continental gate agent bumped Rivers from the last flight out Sunday and the comedian found herself alone (her daughter, Melissa, flew out to Los Angeles earlier in the day) and with no ATM card and just $100 cash, she said.
Rivers' tale of woe put a famous face on travel's new reality - one that leaves many feeling like common criminals.
"If I were going to make up an alias, I wouldn't pick Rosenberg. I'd pick Jolie or Pitt," said Rivers, back home Monday in New York with her sense of humor intact. "Do terrorists wear Manolo Blahniks? I can tell you Donna Karan does not make anything that hides a bomb," she said...
Do terrorists wear Manolo Bahniks? Maybe not this second perhaps, but if they can somehow manage to rig stilletos with explosives I wouldn't put it past 'em.

Joan Rivers The terrorist.
It would be funny. Except for one fact. Why would they kick someone with a Jewish name off a plane? It makes no sense.
Sure her mouth in its time has caused havoc. She is a comedienne after all.
Even if she is as Mark Levine calls her. A Yenta.

Her famous line works re Obama: "You think the War on Terror is over? Oh grow up!"
