Gary Smith, a morning radio show host in Stroudsburg who was fired for using the same phrase that got Don Imus suspended, apologized today.

"What I said was stupid, and I'm sorry," Smith said this afternoon.

After reviewing an air check of the "Gary in the Morning" show, Smith has been dismissed from 93.5 WSBG-FM for his comments, Rick Musselman, COO of Nassau Mid-Atlantic, said in a prepared statement issued this morning.

Musselman said Smith took it upon himself to use "I'm a nappy-headed ho" as the "Phrase that Pays" on the air at WSBG yesterday morning.

1. I guess that turned out to be the phrase that didn't pay

Good enough he got fired.

2. He got fired for that?

Seriously?!?!?

Doesn't this fall into the category of parody?
