Oh well. Just a dumb joke and all. As Twitchy reported, Jezebel editor Erin Gloria Ryan’s first thought upon hearing the tragic news of actor Paul Walker’s death was “why couldn’t it be Scott Walker.”

Just a “dumb joke.” And totally the fault of conservatives.
For not “getting” the joke.

Appalling.
She continued with her faux-pology tweets, after bravely running away by deleting her original tweet as well as her disgusting blame tweet double down (alas, Ms. Ryan, Twitchy is forever).
No excuse. It was dumb. I'm sorry.

No excuse. Except for, you know, the “excuse” that conservatives didn’t get her “joke.” Death is so hilarious, guys!
Over/under on how long it takes @morninggloria to say tweet wasn't meant to offend, was taken out of context, sorry to anyone it hurt?
— Jen M (@JenJenMA) December 1, 2013
@JenJen_623 nope. I straight up didn't think and shouldn't have said it.
— Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) December 1, 2013
I don't wish death on anyone. Joking about that was insensitive and inappropriate.
— Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) December 1, 2013
Except you did.
.@morninggloria You're right..Joking about someone's death was just a mistake and you'll never do it.. Oh wait https://t.co/Yt0ZEuSUGv

@morninggloria Why, because you bosses said so? No one believes you did it bc you felt bad. You did it bc you got caught.
— Josh Carpenter (@katesdaddy3) December 1, 2013
@katesdaddy3 nope. No bosses. Me thinking for a bit and realizing I was wrong.

Hi, @morninggloria, dumb is wearing 2 diff shoes in the morning. What u did? Tasteless, crass, and disrespectful. U need new adjectives.
— MsShakes (@MomMilkshake) December 1, 2013
@MomMilkshake you're right. And I'm sorry.
— Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) December 1, 2013
@EricTeetsel thanks. I mean it and appreciate your recognizing that.
— Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) December 1, 2013
Others do not buy it.
Jezebel’s emergency editorial crisis team appears to have a 1 hour response time. @morninggloria

@morninggloria What is wrong with you for thinking something like that to begin with? Are you really that starved for attention?
— I'mACruzer (@LetFreedumRing) December 1, 2013
Actor Nick Searcy weighed in:
The left never disappoints with their tastelessness and heartlessness. @DLoesch @Lmg1234567 @morninggloria
— Yes, Nick $earcy! (@yesnicksearcy) December 1, 2013
Bingo. They just can’t help exposing themselves.
Fellow actor Adam Baldwin then shredded Ms. Ryan’s faux-pology in two tweets.

Amen.
Your shitty, fake apology is almost as bad as this tweet. RT @morninggloria why couldn't it be scott walker. 🙁 #wisconsintweets
— Brian S. Wise (@BrianSWise) December 1, 2013
Apology as weak as the joke. "@morninggloria: Dumb joke deleted. Apologies."
— Pundit Review (@PunditReview) December 1, 2013
Precisely.
A suggestion for Ms. Ryan:
Perhaps @morninggloria needs to take a good long look at herself & figure out why she is so hate filled. what in life leaves her that empty
— Tony McMillan (@Slapuel) December 1, 2013
Evidently, she hasn’t started yet. She did not delete this tweet:
AND YET MILLIONS OF SIGNIFICANTLY LESS HOT PEOPLE STILL LIVE
— Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) December 1, 2013
Tragic and untimely death? Yuk, yuk, yuk!
Seek help.
