GEICO voice actor fired over nasty voicemail

Maybe the new GEICO commercial will say "Leaving nasty voicemails may get you fired in less than 15 minutes"
Lance Baxter (the guy who says "15 minutes can save you...") was fired after Freedomworks posted his voicemail containing references to "retarded" employees and the possibility of Tea Partiers killing someone.

The money quote from the story is: "Douglas has since acknowledged such an impulsive move was "STUPID!," but was impassioned by the "slurs the Tea Party crowd angrily yelled at Barney Frank, et al," during the climax of health care reform."
One wonders how "stupid" he will feel when he realizes that the slurs never happened, or he remembers how many slurs have been directed at Conservatives and Tea Partiers.
