9-11 Was The Fault Of Whom?

Quoted in the NY Daily News, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal demonstrates that her intellect is not her strongest feature.

Gyllenhaal, 27, made the comments at the Tribeca Film Festival, where her new movie "The Great New Wonderful" - which has a plot centered on the destruction of the World Trade Center - premiered Friday.

"I think what's good about the movie is that it deals with 9/11 in such a subtle, open way that I think it allows it to be more complicated than just, 'Oh, look at these poor New Yorkers and how hard it was for them,'" Gyllenhaal told the NY1 cable channel.

"Because I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt allows that to sort of creep in," she added.

There really is not much to say that hasn't already been said about such comments, other than to wonder what she sprinkles on her Wheaties in the morning.

UPDATE: Some others have noticed Ms. Gyllenhaal's comments.  Ace is right on the money:

Prediction: Ask this stupid bint to name one of those "reprehensible" things and she'll stare at you like a chicken asked to explain quantum mechanics.

Give her enough time, and she'll maybe manage to come up with "Guatemala," and when you ask, "What about Guatemala?," she'll run out the door crying that you're "oppressing" her.
