On one hand it looks like it was a slip of the tounge that cost a radio broadcaster his job, but it was quite the offensive remark that shouldn't have happened on a prominent St. Louis Radio Station KTRS-AM.
Dave Lenihan, who's prior credit was a stint at WGNU, had just joined KTRS when the topic of U.S. Secretary of State Condi Rice caused him to make the unfortunate association with the word "coon". Mr. Lenihan, according to the article, insists that he meant to say something else, but management saw it differently and fired him within 20 minutes of the offending broadcast.
