Yahoo News’ Washington bureau chief David Chalian has been fired after a shocking remark he made about Mitt Romney and his wife Ann was caught on camera. Chalian was overheard saying that the Romneys were “not concerned at all” about Hurricane Issac and are “happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Chalian seemed to be referring to the Republican National Convention taking place in Tampa just as the Category 1 storm barreled across the Gulf of Mexico. Yesterday, Yahoo announced it was firing Chalian, “effective immediately.”
