No, not the gecko. The gecko’s not involved in any of this. It’s cool.
[UPDATE]: Welcome, Instapundit readers. And Reason makes a vital correction to its story.
Not just me, or specifically me, of course. But, given that I’m both a supporter of the Tea Party movement and a GEICO customer, when I heard that this Lance Baxter fellow had called up FreedomWorks to be a rude, profane, and rather confused individual I made it a point to call up my insurance provider and tell them – nicely – that I didn’t really approve of such behavior, I was curious whether this represented GEICO’s official stance on the matter, and that his continued employment by GEICO would be a factor when it came time to decide whether to renew my insurance policy with them.
Annnnnd now he’s gone (via here and here). I must not have been the only person to call.
