See the idiot above? That's Walt Baker, CEO of the Tennessee Hospitality Association. Walt sent the following e-mail to a few people comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to a monkey.Baker says he meant no offense and sent it to what he considered to be "a select group of friends." "If anybody wants to make a political agenda out of it, they're wasting they're time."
Memo to Walt: Please rethink things before you hit "send."
****Below is the text of the e-mail. Attached was a picture of Michelle Obama and a picture of a monkey.
From: Walt Baker To: Albie DelFavero, Bruce Dobie, Butch Spyridon, Joe Hall, Peter Heidenreich, Terry Clements, Toby Compton, Chuck Creasy, Rob Moorefield, Ken Whitehouse, Paul Brown, Bob Davis Date: March 4, 2010 9:18:29 PM CST
Quoting Larry the Cable Guy...I don't care who you are, this is funny...
I was at the store yesterday, and I ran into Tarzan! I asked him how it was going and if he was into anymore movies.
He told me that he could no longer make any more movies as he had severe arthritis in both shoulders and could no longer swing from vine to tree.
I asked how Jane was doing, he told me she was in bad shape, in a nursing home, has Alzheimer's and no longer recognizes anyone, how sad. I asked about Boy, and he told me that Boy had gone to the big city, got hooked up with bad women, drugs, alcohol, and the only time he heard from him was if he was in trouble or needed something.
I asked about Cheeta, he beamed and said she was doing good, had married a Lawyer and now lived in the White House!!!

Yikes! Wow, he definitely used very poor judgment to send out such an email that is so clearly offensive and in very bad taste. I rather doubt any apology he may have made was sincere.
Oh, oh.
I look into my crystal ball and see a very cloudy future for this political genius. However if he wants to do talk radio for Clear Channel.....
