The talk show host that said "I want Joe the Plumber dead." has been fired:

A left-leaning San Francisco radio host who doubles as a columnist for the Huffington Post has been dismissed from his broadcast job for an expletive-laden, on-air diatribe in which he called for the death of "Joe the Plumber."

On his own website, Charles Raymond Bouley Jr., more popularly known as Karel, confirmed he was fired from his weekend KGO radio show for the rant, which happened when he thought he was off the air.

"With a two-minute phone call and one-paragraph letter I have been fired from KGO. I'm told the engineer that made the mistake has been as well," he wrote.

The target of Bouley's venom was Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who became known during the presidential campaign as Joe the Plumber after his videotaped exchange with Barack Obama. Wurzelbacher's objection to Obama's desire to "spread the wealth," calling it socialism, became a major theme for the McCain campaign in its final weeks.
