"D.C. Douglas, Former Geico Voice Actor, Fires Back At FreedomWorks (VIDEO) "
Remember him? This is deadly in a zing to the teabaggers kinda way.

"D.C. Douglas may have lost his gig as a voice over announcer on Geico commercials, but he's found another use for his time and talent ... making a tongue-in-cheek PSA warning people, "don't drunk dial FreedomWorks."

Douglas, also known as Lance Baxter, made headlines when he left a nasty message for the conservative organization which is closely aligned with the Tea Party. The message and a subsequent call from FreedomWorks back to Douglas were leaked, and Geico promptly fired him.

"What I did may have been entertaining, but it was also impetuous and not well thought out," Douglas said in a statement released on Monday. "If I were to make that call today, I would use a more diaphram-supported voice and ask very different questions."


(Must see Vid)

1. Kick bc this guy's a Hero!
Maybe he goes a little overboard in the new Vid but there are parts that have incredible Zingers hitting the teabaggers smack in the Bullseye.

2. I laughed so hard I hurt myself ...

I had no idea this guy was anything more than the "Geico guy."

I think Freedomworks has unleashed a sleeping monster. I wish more notable people who get bullied like this would respond in such a manner.

3. Ah, I got a bite! :)
This is doing so much more for your country than voicing a gekko!

Thank you geico for unleashing your creative monster on "freedom works".

So you missed the first story about him "drunk dailing"? I loved it and when I saw this Vid..I wanted to share it with someone..or more.:)
