Finally the exposure of the whole ZIMMERMAN scurvy crew - GQ interview with Robert

Finally now we hear how horrible the entire clan is, which the media sort of disguised. After presidential elections there are tell-alls and it’s always infuriating how the media kept back all the honest observations for the entire two years of campaigning, not doing the duty of truth, leaving the p.r. pics to mislead us, until somebody cashes in on the dirt. Something about the ZIMMERMANs fits that scenario.

They always played it like the parents were innocuous civil servants, that brother Robert was the loving family spokesman. This says he was the family screw-up until George did his deed. Now they’re all paranoid, scrounging grifters, mostly unemployed, desperate for comp’ed hotel stays from the dwindling media interviews. The new bits: George identifies with Anne FRANK, yeah. And Gay brother Robert ended up in bed with a (female) CNN anchor after a booze fest, but things ended when his bracelet tangled in her hair. They wanted a reality show. They really need to hook up with the PALINs.

[font size=5]Zimmerman Family Values[/font]

By Amanda Robb [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"] [/FONT]

.... Gladys is darker-skinned than she appeared on TV during the trial, beautiful and indigenously featured. She wears a little white cardigan over her shoulders, like a country-club matron, but in conversation she is [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]fierce and brassy[/FONT] and speaks heavily accented English. It infuriates her that George is often described as a white man, which she considers an affront to her Peruvian heritage. She can be [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]startlingly callous about Trayvon Martin's family, about the help they've received, financial and otherwise, which she feels her family has been unfairly denied[/FONT]. It often seems [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]as if she believes the Zimmermans have suffered equally[/FONT], as if they have lost a son as well. ....

Toward the end of their stay, according to Robert, a manager presented him with a bill for $3,600. He says he called CNN, outraged, only to have the producer accuse them of splurging shamelessly on CNN's dime. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]"You and your brother are evil[/FONT]!" he remembers her screaming. The hotel manager threatened to call the police. Alone in his room, Robert started shaking. He wrapped all the blankets around him, ordered shrimp, chain-smoked cigarettes, got roaring drunk. Nothing helped. He called his mother in a panic. "I can't get warm," he sobbed. "I just can't get warm." ....

On the other hand, Robert keeps discovering that life in semi-public isn't easy for a Zimmerman. He and a date recently watched the movie Diana, about the late British princess. "It made him get who I am now," Robert says. "And he couldn't take it." It dawned on Robert that he'll "never be able to fuck somebody without thinking, What's going to happen? Are they recording me? Did they leave their laptop open? Is this being broadcast live? Is this person two weeks later going to find out who my brother is and then sell something? Are they going to say you raped them?" ....

Bob tells me that George's big fear right now is that he'll be charged with federal civil rights violations for the Martin shooting.

"He's worried," Bob says, "that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]if FBI agents come and kick in his door, he's probably gonna shoot a few of them[/FONT]."
