For things like this (or when I download an MP3 that has a pop at the beginning or end - or even a song from Napster that had an error with only 4 seconds to go), I convert the Mp3 to a wav file using MusicMatch and then edit the wav file with Cool Edit. After that, you have to re-encode to mp3 using MusicMatch again, so you may get some quality loss.

I have heard that the newest version of Cool Edit Pro allows you to edit mp3's. I am not too sure if it edits the mp3 file, or just makes a temporary wav file and then re-encodes it to mp3 afterwards. If that is the case, I would not go this route because I have heard that the mp3 codec used by Cool Edit is not the best.
