PSA: Drunk Dialing

07/11/2010 - Thanks to Anonymous for correcting an erroneous statement. See below.

When D. C. Douglas left a voicemail message at FreedomWorks, the money behind the so-called "grassroots" tea party, all hell broke loose and the guy lost his job*. I refuse to link to this organization but if you decide to goggle it then be sure to notice which media organization acts as their personal megaphone.



*D. C. Douglas is was the voice of the GEICO gecko. 
From http://www.dcdouglasblog.com/: I was NOT the gecko or the main vo tag announcer. That was a conflation by Matt Kibbe. (Matt Kibbe is from FreedomWorks.)

I love this video! Though, DC Douglas was not the gecko. He was on an unaired campaign that he was let go of. He also used to do the celebrity campaigns for Geico. I know him from Mass Effect 2 as Legion. And I also read his blog, where he talked about the whole thing: DCDouglasblog.com
