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.

Yep, look crosswise at the old, blonde, white woman with tons of plastic surgery but let the Yemeni guy through with no luggage. I feel so safe.

The plastic surgery on her face looks good—but, I think that there is a problem with her implants.

Of course! Her passport photo was taken in 2005. That’s like 23 surgeries ago. It doesn’t look a thing liker her anymore!

Abdulmatallab shows up, no passport, terrorist watch list, they wave him right on board. Joan Rivers shows up with a passport and they won’t board her because there is something fishy about her.

Well, I agree with the last part, but you can see that when your security is in the hands of morons, you’ve got no chance. These are the people who voted for the Mighty O, and these are the people who want to take care of you from cradle to grave. That should make your hair stand up.
