[“She’s just got a patent resume, of somebody that’s got such serious skill,” Linehan said on the air. “She loves football, she’s African-American, which would kind of be a big coon, a big coon – oh my God, I am totally, totally, totally, totally, totally sorry for that, OK? I didn’t mean that. That was just a slip of the tongue.” Lenihan later said he meant to use the word "coup."]



I don't know anything about this DJ, but from the context of this quote it appears that this was just an accident.

Still, in the radio business, as a professional such errors are unacceptable.

There's a distinct difference between it being an error and "business as usual". The host of "Sly In The Morning" on 1670 AM WTDY in Madison, WI caused some furor over racist comments he made about Rice a couple years ago, and it was not an accident. Of course, he tries to fool his audience into thinking he's an independent, but he's not. He's a flaming liberal. So is his goofball stand-in.

I don't believe he's apologized for it either. He spent the entire time it was in the national spotlight weaseling his way around the whole issue by blaming everyone else but himself. Typical of all liberals.
