Monday, September 15, 2003Daily Show to Cover the Borders Incident? Wow. . . real inside information here. It looks as if the Julia Rose incident in which she excused her lack of decorum and subsequent dismissal by the Fredericksburg Borders store on a comment about "Bush's chicken legs" just may be covered by Jon Stewart's Daily Show. This is really a non-event if I have ever heard of one. Rose if you will remember was ingloriously thrown out of the local Fredericksburg Borders for comments to the effect of making love to a multi-faceted blow up doll with sound effects. Not exactly the kind of thing that mothers and young children want to hear. After several such comments and complaints, Rose was asked not to return. Enter the local Free Lance-Star and a jilted Julia Rose, who emphatically stated that her removal was not for her commentary on blow-up dolls, but for her singular commentary on the presidents legs. Needless to say, every anti-Bush junkie within 50 miles jumped on the bandwagon and raked Borders over the coals. Now anyone who knows the folks at Borders knows that these guys are some of the most liberal people you would ever care to meet (not that they specifically hire liberals, it's just that my brother who works there makes up for the conservative counterbalance). The very idea that these guys would usher Rose out of the store for that comment is ludicrous at best. It was probably the high point in her otherwise lackluster performance. But to charge these guys with banning Rose for a Bush comment? It just doesn't play out. . . they let her go because she was scaring off little kids and their moms. Really looking forward to the Daily Show treatment on this one, if it is forthcoming. There are a number of ways this tree could fall, and whichever way it does fall the only sound it will make will be the shrill sound of it landing on a opportunist. Hopefully the FLS will redeem its journalistic integrity before national comedy television exposes the story for what it is.
