Geico voice actor fired after insulting tea parties (ha!!! ha!!! ha!!! ha!!!)
Sometimes you have a headline that makes the rest of the story superfluous, but here's the background. Actor Lance Baxter, otherwise known as "D.C. Douglas," currently known as the man who informs you how much Geico can save you on car insurance, left a message last month with FreedomWorks in which he asked the group how many "mentally retarded" people it had on staff and what it would do when a tea partyer "killed someone."

ReplyDeleteHow many voice over actors working for Gieco are mentally retarded?
And of course he's looking for a lawyer to handle his case probono. Like all liberals he's got his hand out and wants something for nothing.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece.

ReplyDeleteI don't think he's black.
And if he had a good case, he wouldn't need a free lawyer.
