What was the result of the story involving woman "fired" for Kerry sticker

[Mike Daniels]

There was a story recently where a woman "claimed" to be fired by her boss for having a Kerry sticker on her car.

The story seemed suspicious to me as the woman ended up not filing charges after talking to a lawyer and her story as told in the paper never supported her claims that she was actually fired - she walked off the job after her supervisor said "I "suppose" you're fired".

After the initial posting of the article I don't recall hearing anything more about it.

Was it determined that the woman was actually fired or was it like that case where the teacher claimed she was fired for having Bush pictures on her wall but it was later revealed that she had just walked out of the classroom after being confronted over the issue?

Anyone know any more details?

1. IIRC, Kerry gave her a job on his campaign.

Though we could be thinking of two different people.

2. She was fired.

It was real. Kerry hired her after finding out about it.

You can google any number of news reports about it.

3. I think the story was real

Kerry campaign hired her. Lots of play here, sorry can't recall names and places.

4. Thanks everyone

I didn't know the specific name of the woman or anything but was surprised that "fired bumper sticker" on Google would tag a match.

Later articles show that the employer did "apologize" eventually so it appears that the story was true.
