I agree that it is more a reflection of his confused thought processes and poor ability to create a connected sentence (as well as his tendency to misuse or mispronounce words) than anything else. But why that particular word, completely out of place?

We have to remember that in this talk he was modeling himself on one of his mentors, the putrid Rev. Wright, and I think he was used to hearing phrases like “billionaire Jews” and other anti-Jewish slurs come trippingly off this “pastor’s” tongue. Oviously, one of these Jew-baiting phrases surfaced in Bambi’s Magic 8-Ball mind, probably triggered by the word “billionaire,” and just simply bubbled forth.

So while he probably wasn’t thinking of anything in particular when he said this, it seems to me that we heard a bit of the soundtrack that is always playing in his head.

That's entirely possible.
