Yahoo News fires David Chalian...

for saying 

"They're not concerned at all. They're happy to have a party with black people drowning," Chalian said over a break during the ABC News/Yahoo News webcast, in reference to the fact that the GOP convention in Tampa is taking place as Hurricane Isaac makes landfall on the north Gulf coast. source

Problem is - the mic was hot.

I really don't care that he made a rather tasteless and stupid "joke."  But anyone who is too stupid to know when his mic is hot really needs to go into a different line of work. Doofus!
