[font size=5]Yahoo fires bureau chief for on-air Romney remark[/font]


.... Company spokeswoman Anne Espiritu said Wednesday that David Chalian’s remark was inappropriate and does not represent Yahoo’s views. ....


The website Newsbusters posted a copy of the video and the audio. The video showed Ann and Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, while the audio picked up background conversation, not all of it intelligible, about the Republican convention taking place as Hurricane Isaac was about to hit the Louisiana coast.

Someone makes a remark, “they’re not concerned at all.” In a clearer voice, Chalian says, “they are happy to have a party with black people drowning.” ....

1. But that was in poor taste.

Poor judgment to say that on-air. That is kind of hard to blame Yahoo for firing him...

2. Meh. I'm not of the Be-Tasteful- Gracious-to- Thugs-Muggers-Jerks persuasion

And I'm not sorry about it.


So... policies that are framed in tasteful language, wafted in cloud balloons out of the mouths of Rethugs in designer garb, but which GUT THE LIVES of deprived, disenfranchised, degraded people are good judgment.

Truth is ugly as often as not.
