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?
Because Gorilla Glue works far better than all of those.
What a crock.
How true!!
Exactly. I asked a guy at Home Depot for Gorilla Glue a few months ago. The dude was black. I don’t think he took offense.
I guess now the left is going to demand all brand names be changed to suit our new emperor? *eyeroll*
LOL!
I’m going to pick up a couple of bottles of Gorilla Glue on the way home and send them to the White House.
Gosh, one little innocent “gorilla glue” mention and, according to the professional race victim lobby, you’re suddenly a racist! Zed Miller was/is one of the greatest Democrats I’ve ever observed.
Go Zed!! Fight for freedom!!
Zell was a GREAT Governor and Senator [ light years ahead of the two idiots Georgia has now ] and one of only about three or four dems I’d vote for!
