Tennessee Hospitality Association CEO Walt Baker has sent out an e-mail mockingly comparing Michelle Obama to Tarzan's chimpanzee sidekick, Cheeta. In an e-mail forwarded by Walt Baker to 12 prominent Nashvillians on Thursday, in what he originally called political humor, there was an unflattering picture of Michelle Obama, whose face was in a certain expression, right beneath a chimpanzee which seemed to be making the exact same facial expression. Additionally, Michelle Obama was the butt of the joke in the same e-mail in a comparison to chimpanzee Cheeta, after it was said that she went on to marry a lawyer and now lives in the White House. Originally intended by Baker privately for only a small circle of high-powered friends, the political humor-e-mail was exposed by a race-baiting journalist from the Nashville Scene, potentially harming Tennessee's tourism industry, according to some commenters.

Looks like the unemployment rate in Tennessee is going to increase by one person.

Dope.
Dope.
This is nuts.
This is nuts.
Now, wait now. I remember all the pictures comparing George Bush to a Chimp. Has PC taken over this country completely? And the ugly comments about Palin’s kids.
Is this still America? Come on, this guy has no class, but it is not a crime — YET!
“Looks like the unemployment rate in Tennessee is going to increase by one person.”
Well, you are probably right, but I still wonder where the outrage is over this:

Actually it sounds like a private joke between friends that some journalist got a hold of and made into a big scandal. Heck, I’ve seen similar pics on here, there was a rather funny Michelle Obama / Wookie pic floating around a while back. They did it to George W. Bush all the time, payback is hell...
Agree some people only remember what they want to how PC can one get.
If this guiy was on a gov’t computer (ie. paid for with tax dollars) he is toast and should be.
my friend sent me that email.
Cheetah is waayyy better looking.
no, no, no...
GW = chimp = OK
mo = chimp = no,no,no no
Government computer? So, the fedgov has taken over the Tennessee Hospitality Association?
Tell me it ain’t so. And leave the guy alone. Go after the Obama groupie who made a big deal out of it, instead. Or else give up your right to criticize the president, his wife, his policies, his marxist laws, his ruination of America.
This is NOT the old USSR. We GET to ridicule whom we wish.
Free speech. Don’t leave home without it.
If the Tennessee Hospitality Association is a state agency then this guy is using state (govt) equiptment for personal use and he should be fired.
I could never understand this anyway. I always thought Bush a rather attractive man who in no way resembles a chimp.lol
