Jonah Goldberg:
Renowned metallurgist Rosie O’Donnell proclaimed on TV last Thursday that Sept. 11, 2001, was a more significant date than most of us realized. It was, in her words, “the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel.”
This, of course, came as news to steelworkers, blacksmiths, firefighters, manufacturers of samurai swords, and other fools who hadn’t realized that steel is forged in magic furnaces using dragon breath and pixie dust.

Wow. Mind-blowingly stupid.
Someone oughtta tell Rosie that even though the fire in the WTC wasn't at a high enough temperature to burn steel, steel loses its integrity at about half of that temperature, and does things like collapse.
Best bumper sticker I ever saw (ignore the unrelated politics, just focus on the Rosie bashing):
"Blaming guns for Columbine is like blaming spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat."
Heh. Good one.
