VIDEO: San Francisco Radio Host Caught on Mic Calling for Death of Joe the Plumber = Warning: Graphic language. Charles Karel Bouley is a weekend host on KGO-AM and a contributing writer for The Huffington Post.

On Saturday, November 1st, 2008, Karel was hosting his weekly show on KGO at 9 PM when a sound engineer failed to mute his microphone during the top of the hour national news break. During the news break, a reference to Joe the Plumber came up and Karel was clearly heard to be yelling a number of expletives as well as saying "I wish he (Joe the Plumber) was dead". The station was subsequently flooded with calls. At the beginning of the next hour, Karel apologized for the gaff and explained that Joe the Plumber is a "myth" (Karel's word) and that he was angry at the way the McCain campaign had used the "myth". It is not known if KGO has or will discipline Karel in any way.
