This was all too predictable. Jillian Bandes, the student journalist (gulp!) fired after penning an
infantile column calling for "all Arabs to be stripped naked and cavity-searched if they get within 100 yards of an airport," may be on her way to becoming a celebrated conservative poster girl for the evils of so-called "poltical correctness."
Bandes's editor says he fired her for the journalistic sin of grossly misleading her sources. But in
this story she claims she was fired as a result of reaction to her piece.
In any event, she's already being talked about by
Ann Coulter and other conservative kibitzers. Next stop -- a visit with Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly or maybe an internship with Rush Limbaugh? This'll probably turn out to be a good career move for Jillian.
