Getting Fired For Sending Racist Emails, Now That’s Funny

March 9th, 2010

In the email sent by Walt Baker comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to a chimp, it starts off stating that “Quoting Larry the Cable Guy…I don’t care who you are, this is funny…”.

Wonder if Mr. Baker is laughing now. It is widely reported that he has been let go as CEO of Tennessee Hospitality Association in a unanimous vote of the organization’s board.

Mr. Baker might think conjuring up old racial denigration standards is funny; but I gotta tell you, getting your comeuppance and losing your job for showing off your pointy white hat, now that’s a riot.

    I haven’t laughed this hard since seeing the pathetic hip hop performance Karl Rove did at that White House function some years back.
