I just want to say that I did not say the word gay, I was trying to pronounce the London Marathon winners name Tsegaye Kebede.

Joining the news team, as inauspiciously as possible.
"As if things couldn't get worse for A.J. 'Fuckin' Shit' Clemente, it seemed as if he prefaced his profanity with the usage of 'gay" in an exasperated, derogatory tone."

Thank you for playing. We have no lovely parting gifts.
B-b-b-ut that guy in Baaston said it.
Oh, yeah, he brings in people so they pay him tons of money.
Sucks to be you dude.
Probably not how he envisioned it.
He should say that he had a stroke and go on lifetime disability.
Its the wrong people that get canned.
The people that "made it a little easier" instead of "a little harder" for the Boston Bombers to do what they did, will get to keep their jobs.
Whenever I travel I LOVE watching local news. The smaller markets have kids right out of college and they often look like deers in the headlight. But, this is the best ever. You Cheeseheads have some real rookies in Rhinelander and Wausau.
The funniest part is where his co-anchor introduces him and asks him to tell the viewers about himself. He mumbles someething about being from the East Coast and going to WVU and that was all he had!
now he has to find a way to get out of that one-year apt lease
Hey, at least we can be sure he's not a robot.
It's not fair of Althouse to quote the first part of the statement without quoting the second part. Here's both:
As if things couldn't get worse for A.J. "Fuckin' Shit" Clemente, it seemed as if he prefaced his profanity with the usage of "gay" in an exasperated, derogatory tone. However, this was simply not the case.
Forgot the "this was simply not the case" eh?
Anyway I hope this guy gets back to work, learns from his mistake and makes a great career for himself.
It does open up a spot for the Asian lesbian newscaster that they have waiting in the wings, though.
He should have said "Takei"
Who let this guy on the air?
He doesn't have anchorman hair. I thought that was the first rule after passing the examination for trident throwing.
Since when is West Virginia on the east coast?
I really feel for the guy, but that video is some of the funniest fucking shit I've seen in a long, long time.
His first two words as an anchorman and he throws it all away.
Wow did he look terrified to be on the news!
Who ever hired him should be fired as well
He should just give up the whole news anchor schtick and start up a blog/twitter feed and capitalize on his 15 minutes.
He has certainly achieved a degree of fame and recognition that puts him in a class with Chelsea Clinton. MSNBC should make lemonade and have him host a joint news show with Chelsea. Ratings gold.
He should have claimed that the female co-anchor tampered with the teleprompter.
Great Odin's Raven.
Nomen, For chrissake, West Viginia invaded Virginia and took it over last week. The Boston story took attention away from this important story. So, there is no Virginia, only a West Virginia.
What Ndspinelli said.
I'm still partial to the
"'BOOM!' goes the dynamite" guy.

That's so Tsegay.
And speaking of on-air mishaps:
Back in the late 70s one local Green Bay station was interviewing the 'Shopko Lady' from Shopko's commercials.
The host started taking calls and this was the 2nd one:
Host: Hello caller. Do you have a question for Karen?
Caller(young adult male voice)
Yeah. I just want to say Karen I think you're really attractive and Host? You s*** *o*k.'
HOW a TV station could go live without a 5-7 second delay is beyond me. It was shockingly funny to watch though.
I love people that go out with a bang. Except for Muzzies, of course.
After much thought AJ has decided he needs to spend more time with his family.
After his seconds of service, we at KFYRTV wish him the best.
This guy had boxer's and wrestler's brain syndrome. It is a sad fact that no one in West Virginia noticed the difference until it was too late. He just seemed so normal.
If you're going into the business of being heard on the air it seems prudent to cultivate a vocabulary that is free of the f word.
Just a suggestion.

I cut the intro that was repetitive of the tweet, which I copied. Nothing is missing. Totally fair.

That's so Tsekei
Fixed it for you.

This is what you quoted:
"As if things couldn't get worse for A.J. "Fuckin' Shit" Clemente, it seemed as if he prefaced his profanity with the usage of "gay" in an exasperated, derogatory tone."
This is what was written:
"As if things couldn't get worse for A.J. "Fuckin' Shit" Clemente, it seemed as if he prefaced his profanity with the usage of "gay" in an exasperated, derogatory tone. However, this was simply not the case."
Totally unfair because you make it seem like the writer of the story does not believe Clemente.
LOL! The guy can probably get better pay working the oil fields and he should do it. He'll fit right in, too.
And I thought "fuckin'" was even an FCC-approved expression these days?
It was heartfelt.
My most embarrassing malapropism:
I was talking to a student and his mom, and instead of saying internet course, I contracted that to intercourse.
Heard myself say that and busted out laughing. Brain to mouth misfire!
Another thing I really had to concentrate on was when I used to routinely give a standardized test and announce the instructions. This is a problem when you are in the habit of praying the Rosary: "version" sometimes slips out as "virgin" --oops!!!
Or have you ever tried to say "bass ackwards," but changed it back again accidentally and said, "ass backwards"? OOOPS!!!
There's a reason why I'm not listed in the college's Speakers Bureau.
