This a characteristic traumatic stress reaction. And it seems to me the "sanctimony" lies with those who would sit safely across the ocean and judge this woman for her initial reaction. And wasn't it Bush after 9/11 who said something to the effect that we shouldn't let terror disrupt our lives and that we "should go shopping?"

Yes. And she’s abjectly apologized. Thanks media but find someone else for today’s ritual humiliation.

Sorry. Can’t buy that. As I said, I did not hear those words, but listened to most of her interview. Her affect during the entire interview was not one of someone dealing with an emotional shock.

Her words are entirely consistent with my perception of her during that interview.

Imagine someone telling the world on 9/11” it might sound selfish, but this ruined an otherwise wonderful trip to NYC to see a Broadway Play.”

I am guilty of giving the benefit of the doubt more often than I should. Not this time.

Do you prefer mustard, or melted cheese on your pretzels?

I agree with you. If you don’t mind read my post: #37.

You might have a point there. I’ve seen examples in which people seem to be so dazed, so befuddled, by experiencing incidents of great danger and gravity, that their minds seem to retrench to aspects that come across as stultifyingly mundane or self-centered.

Her words do indeed sound horrific. But I think I’m still more put off by the technological lynch-mob that constantly rises up these days to attack these supposed transgressions. 84 people dead by Muzzie scum, and all this anger and offense directed towards some dotty woman who was interviewed?
