Banned in Borders

Julia Rose , a singer and fitness buff, has been banned from performing at the Fredericksburg, VA Borders .

[She] told a Fredericksburg Borders audience Friday: “George Bush has chicken legs. He needs to pump some iron.” “I never bashed Bush as president. I merely said his lower body needs some serious definition,” Rose explained later. She said most of the audience laughed. But a few were offended and reportedly contacted Amy Korsun, area marketing manager for Borders Books & Music, to complain about Rose making “political” comments.

Well, like the identity politics crowd says, the personal is the political.

Hi there,
I'm amazed so many people care about my little 'ol story. It's strange and surreal, but anyways,
what can you say?
Stop by my site and say hi, and again, thanks.
Julia Rose
