Anonymous Coward User ID: 22608244 United States 08/26/2012 01:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Famous drill instructor Lee Ermey — best known for his appearance in the movie “Full Metal Jacket” — says he was fired from his gig as a GEICO insurance personality because he criticized President Obama. Quoting: AtheistRepublican Last December, Ermey — also known as “Gunney” — made headlines by blasting the economy and linking Obama to socialism: But the plot thickened in January when Ermey came out and apologized, drawing the ire of some of his fans. And now, despite that apology, Ermey says GEICO fired him because of the statements. Ermey had played a psychiatrist in a GEICO commercial and famously called his “patient” a “jackwagon.” When TMZ recently asked him about it, he said “GEICO fired me because I had– I wasn’t too kind about speaking with the– about the administration, so– the present administration — so they fired me.” “So they fired you because of political reasons?” asked TMZ. “Yeah,” he answered. “If you’re a conservative in this town, you better watch out.” [link to www.theblaze.com] Just another reason to love the Gunny! |
