vegas weatherman fired for calling mlk a coon on the air

A weekend television weatherman was fired after he made an on-air racial slur about Martin Luther King Jr., station officials said.

Rob Blair of KTNV-TV was delivering the extended forecast Saturday morning when he said: "For tomorrow, 60 degrees, Martin Luther Coon King Jr. Day, gonna see some temperatures in the mid-60s."

probably was joking around the station that night and it accidentally slipped out...not justifying it..just can't see a guy going on the air and destroying his career like that on purpose.
