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.

When she snorted Ritalin, she couldn't tell the difference between it and cocaine. "And they give this to six-year-olds," she says, putting in a plug for her book.

Not that I'm pro-Ritalin or anything, but I seriously doubt that mothers and school nurses across the nation are crushing Ritalin tablets with spoons, forming them into nice lines with a razor blade, handing straws to their six-year-olds and ordering them to snort their daily dose up their nose...

Like I said, a dime a dozen bimbo junkies. I *still* wouldn't recognize the skank if I tripped over her while she was sleeping off some hangover in a doorway.

You mean she's not Canadian? She's an American who feels Canadians welcome her opinions? Incroyable!

She is the epitome of the self-centered genx writer and a disgrace to my gender. She is worse than that other "tortured genius" Sylvia Plath, because she hasn't even the decency to stick her head in the oven.

Great first post, and great comments! And at least Sylvia Plath didn't pose nude on her book cover to get attention.

Underneath all of this woman's pathetic psycho problems and self-satisfied irrationality, is a very supremecist ideology. She reminds me of that other bitch from NYC who ran over the "white trash" with her Mercedes SUV last summer (Lizzy Grubman, I believe her name was). What is going on up in NYC....where are these bitches coming from?

Hey, they don't have to follow any stinking rules. They're rich, attractive, and no matter what odious thing they do, they will always have some guy falling all over them. Look at how many freeper guys pant over Wurtzel, despite her self-absorbed, downright sickening comments. Wurtzel could have a tattoo of Bin Laden on one breast, and Clinton on the other, and there would still be some guy thinking she's hot!

Reminds me of the patrol boat sailor in Apocalypse Now ...
