Politico Hires Yahoo! Bureau Chief Fired for Saying GOP ‘Happy to Have a Party With Black People
The Blaze ^ | 10/12/12 | Madeleine Morgenstern

The former Yahoo! News Washington bureau chief who was fired after he was heard saying Republican National Convention attendees were “happy to have a party with black people drowning” has been hired at Politico.

David Chalian will serve as vice president of video programming to expand Politico’s video content, according to an internal memo.

He was fired in August after he was caught on a hot mic during an online video broadcast saying RNC officials were unconcerned about holding their convention as Hurricane Isaac approached the Gulf Coast.

“They’re not concerned at all,” Chalian said. “They are happy to have a party with black people drowning.”

Yahoo! terminated him within hours of his remark coming to light, saying, “David Chalian’s statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!”

Hardly surprising. Politico is nothing more than an extension of the DNC.

He apparently represents the views of Politico.

I was pretty confident that the yahoo leftist hack would not be unemployed for that long.

I'm genuinely surprised it took this long for someone to hire him.

Sounds like Politico is very good fit.

Leftist news propagandists usually see some value in pretending to be objective. Apparently Politico has stopped pretending.
