Zell Miller: Buy "Gorilla Glue" for Obama
Former Democrat and former Georgia Gov./Sen. Zell Miller hit the racial tripwire in blasting Barack Obama in a speech to a gathering of lawmakers on Thursday.
Speaking in Atlanta, Miller, a 76-year-old white Southerner with a penchant for the folksy put-down, was railing against the White House in general — and Obama's recent travels to Europe, the Middle East and Mexico in particular.
The AP:
Our globe-trotting president needs to stop and take a break and quit gallivanting around," Miller said, adding that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel needs to put "Gorilla Glue" on his chair to keep him in the Oval Office.
Two black leaders who know Miller well said they were not offended by the remark. The Rev. Joseph Lowery, a civil rights leader, noted the glue is a brand name. "I ignore it," he said. "I consider the source and go about my business."
Yeah, OK. But why not Elmer's, Krazy-Glue, rubber cement, Stick-um or a wad of old gum?
Dr. Freud?

Its a fairly effective household grade glue, I use it for about every project requiring glue, I guess that makes me a “racist.” (whatever that means?”

Isn’t Gorilla Glue stonger than Elmers and other standard glues? We all know plain old Elmers is not going to keep Obama from “gallivanting” around the globe.

Yeah, OK. But why not Elmer's, Krazy-Glue, rubber cement, Stick-um or a wad of old gum? Because Gorilla Glue works better, asshat.

The ap, fanning the flames of division. They are very good at it, along with their terrorist sympathies.

Elmer's ain't gonna keep him bolted to his seat.

Because Elmer Fudd is an old white guy, thus obviously a racist. Krazy-glue would imply a mental disorder. Stick-um is too close to “stick ‘em up” and would imply that only blacks commit crimes.
Shoulda gone with “gum”, Zell. :(
