Gorilla Warfare

It was one of those goofy political moments last Thursday night, when Zell Miller said, of the president's frequent travels, that "I think Rahm Emanuel ought to get some Gorilla Glue and put it in that chair in the Oval Office." MSNBC briefly went crazy, with the implication that Miller's reference to "gorilla glue" was some sort of racial slur, until someone presumably alerted Chris Matthews that Gorilla Glue is an actual product.

But the funniest part came the next day, when the actual Gorilla Glue company sent out a press release, that for some reason reached my mailbox:

The Gorilla Glue Company Responds to Zell Miller's Recent Comments
 
We Do Not Advocate Attempting to Glue the Leader of the Free World to His Chair

• In response to Zell Miller's recent comments, The Gorilla Glue Company sends letter to President Obama.
• The response was sent today from the desk of Peter Ragland, President, The Gorilla Glue Company.
• The Gorilla Glue Company does not advocate the gluing of President Obama to his chair with their product.
