The following item appeared in many publications. The poor soul, had been working at the St. Louis talk show for just two weeks. Apparently, he mis-spoke, but the program director canned him anyway.
KTRS St Louis Talk Host Fired For Slur Against Rice
As reported by Fox News, KTRS St. Louis fired talk show host Dave Lenihan yesterday for using a racial epithet to describe Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
In talking about the possibility of Rice taking over as commissioner of the NFL, Lenihan used a racial slur that sounded like the word “coup” instead of actually using the word coup. He used the word twice. The fired host called the slur a "slip of the tongue.”
