Standing by for Julies Gig... 60 Days and counting!

I have to take my hat off to Julie’s PR efforts in trying to turn getting her ass kicked out of Wal-Mart quicker than you can blow your nose, into some kind of “Ace Feminist comes back from the Living Dead of Bentonville.” Today’s Media News runs a headline… “Former Wal-Mart Exec Roehm already fielding offers.” But when you get further into the piece it states that she says she is already in conversation with “people who are interested in me.” Well of course she is… What the fuck do you think she’s going to say… “I’ve been sat by the phone for days and no one has called me!? She also says she’s going to take 60 days to “take advantage that people want to talk to me.” Listen Julie baby, you already took advantage of the Bubbas, you should choose your words more carefully in the future. The for the three inch thick fucking icing on the cake she says… “I’m considering opening my own gig!” OK, no jokes about Japanese restaurants or lap dancing clubs, but really, what kind of gig would that be? The piece was written by Tom Siebert who obviously did a Larry King super soft ball interview with not one of the questions I would have asked. Then at the end of the interview, as expected, she plays the feminine “glass ceiling” card…. Julie, you didn’t get fired because you’re a woman… You got fired ‘cos you fucked up.

Why are there no people interested in me?

I just listened to an audio interview with Ad Age's Jonah Bloom at:

This self-appointed arbiter of what if the truth has decided that Julie is innocent and it's all Wal*Mart's fault. And why is he in a position to knows the truth in waters everyone else finds a bit murk? The anser is simple - Julie told him she's innocent.

This guy calls himself a journalist? What a joke.

And just as he gives Julie his blessing, he condemns Draft on the basis of his unsubstantiated opinion.

Add Jonah Bloom, AdAge editor, to the list of Julie Roehm apologists. One of the problems even bigger than the hacks in the industry are the uber hacks who report on it. Apparently Mr. Bloom graduated from two schools: 1) the Larry King school of if someone says it to me in an interview, I believe it entirely. and 2) If I have a Briitish accent, I at least sound smart even if everything I say is utterly stupid. If Mr. Bloom was any kind of a reporter at all he would know there was a long internal investigation at Wal-Mart into Roehm/Womack improprieties, it went on for months actually before their ultimately firing, and the cherry on top was the out and out flouting of Wal-Mart's gratuities policies by both. Then , there is their total lack of qualifications for their jobs and the completely bungling way they handled them. But, it's all good according to Mr. Bloom. Any respect I ever had for Ad Age just flew out the window on the wings of eagles. Utterly disgusting.
