I don't know whether this was already posted when it first came out about a couple of weeks ago, but if anybody ever wonders why the self-indulgent media and literati types in the US aren't behind us in the war against terrorism, here's a shining example of a young, spoiled brat of a writer who has access to the media. I am against hitting women, but I'd surely suspend that rule just once to give her a sock in the jaw, and I wouldn't lose a moment's sleep over it. What a sad case- too bad there are so many liberal media types like her...

February 20, 2002 -- Liz, get back on the Prozac
LOOPY literary pin-up Elizabeth Wurtzel says New Yorkers "overreacted" to
the Sept. 11 terror attack, but her main complaint seems to be that no one
hired her to write about it.
"I just felt, like, everyone was overreacting," Wurtzel told a Canadian
journalist last week about her experience being near Ground Zero on Sept 11.
"People were going on about it. That part really annoyed me."
Wurtzel - whose debut book "Prozac Nation" is being made into a movie
starring Christina Ricci, while her follow-up, "Bitch," flopped - also
declares that when her mother called to tell her a plane had crashed into
one of the Twin Towers, "My main thought was: What a pain in the ass."
Despite numerous frantic phone calls to her Greenwich Street apartment, not
far from the World Trade Center, the emotionally stunted scribe couldn't be
bothered to get out of bed until the second plane crashed, reports the
Toronto Globe and Mail.
When she finally did drag herself to a window and saw the towers collapse,
Wurtzel says, "I had not the slightest emotional reaction. I thought, 'This
is a really strange art project.' " Then her windows blew in and airplane
chunks landed on her roof.
