Well, I guess being a Glock spokesman, retired Marine Drill Sgt., NRA Member, and Anti-Obama advocate, got the "lizard" at Geico's boxer's in a bunch......
I'm sure the response would have been worth hearing...."another jackwagon",..... ;D

Video is still one of the funniest out there.....at link...
“Full Metal Jacket” star and Geico's “Therapist Sarge” R. Lee Ermey said the insurance giant fired him from his commercial spot for speaking out against President Barack Obama, according to a report from TMZ.
Ermey played a former drill sergeant in the commercial, where he called a weeping man a “jackwagon” before throwing a box of tissues at the man in a hilarious and popular commercial for Geico.
But in 2010, Ermey slammed the president’s policies, saying his administration was attempting to “impose socialism” on the American people and, in the process, was “destroying the country,” TMZ reports.
Shortly afterward, he apologized for making the comments, but not before Geico decided to give him the boot. He told TMZ that he was fired over the incident, adding “if you’re conservative in this town, you better watch out.
Ermey, a Marine Corps veteran, has also appeared in films like “Apocalypse Now,” “Mississippi Burning,” and “Leaving Las Vegas,” as well as voicing characters in the “Toy Story” films and “Family Guy.”
Geico tells Fox News that Ermey was not fired and the company had simply moved on.

Yeah Right,.....

I don't think he needs to worry about work! Clint Eastwood would hire him, Bruce Willis, Adam Sandler, Kelsey Grammar, etc...there are a bunch of conservatives in Hollywierd!

It was the "toys for Tots" comments that got him canned
Had to laugh when he sat down and the guy asks "So Gunny, tell us how you REALLY feel. " ;D

It all works out. I fired Geico, too.
And in a point of accuracy, the lizard can't get his boxers in a bunch. He ain't wearin' any.
It's full frontal reptilian nudity.
Sheesh, guys, ya gotta pay attenshun to sh!t like this.

All socialists are somewhat reptilian, who gives a crap which ones are wearing undies or not.
Cept for that broad in the local Obama office, Holy sh!t ! No undies on that one, no bra either. :o ;D

I guess the "Government Employees" ( read bureaucrats) part of GEICO can't be completely erased from their collective mind..
I used them once when I was in the Army.
I fell asleep and rear ended a guy at at (net) speed of 70 mph. They paid without a word to me whatsoever..
I guess I got my licks in in advance..
Separately, have you noticed the Progressive commercials that advertise the tracking device, in a commercial straight out of 1984?
It's so creepy, and nobody seems to catch it!!

I wouldn't let that psycho b!tch get that close to something I valued that much.
Look at her eyes, she probably pulls the wings off hornets.

Warren Buffet runs Berkshire and he is a major Obama supporter....

If you're eligible, its USAA all the way. They are the best insurance company on the planet. All of my claims have been paid within 30 days, and they never raised my rate for making a claim. Not to mention that as a non-profit, I get a check from them if the company makes money that year. Plus, since they are for veterans and dependents, I'm sure the Gunny would be more at home there than sharing air time with a British lizard (although W never seemed all that bothered by Tony Blair) . ;D
