‘Sleepless in Seattle’ Director Nora Ephron Shamefully Mocks Foiled JFK Terror Plot

Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 6, 2007 - 10:04.
The reader is warned to proceed with caution, for the piece of…"journalism" to be addressed here is truly one of the most vile and disgraceful examples of Bush Derangement Syndrome I’ve seen.

In fact, it is so much so that I will not copy one single sentence of this detritus beyond the headline which appeared at the Huffington Post early Monday morning, and is still prominently featured there 58 hours later, which tells us a lot about the proprietor and her readership.

With “How to Foil a Terrorist Plot in Seven Simple Steps,” screenwriter and director Nora Ephron has despicably disgraced all Americans working for various federal agencies as they risk their lives trying to protect this nation from another terrorist attack.

In reality, America-haters like Ephron were the first to point accusatory fingers of blame at the President for not “connecting the dots” before 9/11, yet gleefully and proudly mock every foiled subsequent attack as the nation quickly approaches the six anniversary of that solemn event having not lost one additional soul on our mainland as a result of terrorism since.

Alas, Bush Derangement Syndrome prevents folks like Ephron from understanding such logic.

Of course, why should that be a surprise? After all, Ephron also believes that Rosie O’Donnell is a poet and “The View” is must-see TV.

... [my unmarried sister’s] idea of a good chick flick is Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail.

As it happens, Nora Ephron’s current husband, Nicholas Pileggi, wrote two books made into decidedly un-chick flicks, Goodfellas and Casino.

Goodfellas was great. I had mixed feelings about Casino. I think by the time it came out, it was just another overly-gritty/edgy mafia flick — kinda boring. Sharon Stone, stretched to her acting limit like an rubber band just about to snap, didn’t make it any better. Joe Pesche was good though — he always is.

I don't suppose you have an unmarried sister? "sigh"

I do, but her idea of a good chick flick is Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail.

Thank you kindly for your gracious reply.  After posting that question, I began to wish that I hadn't because it's the sort of thing that can be easily misinterpreted and can be the cause for offense being taken, particularly in such a forum as this.  Your courtesy is sincerely appreciated and is the mark of a well-rounded person, which is not at all common to encounter online.  It's a shame that your sister (apparently) doesn't share your perspectives on things but at least she has an opportunity to better herself, with your tutelage being available.  Best wishes and thanks again  :-).
