Hoo boy.
The Daily Caller has done some great work. Needless to say, this isn’t it:

If you saw that ignorant @DailyCaller tweet about @Reince and were wondering what "HNIC" stands for, an explainer: http://t.co/B2eo2saGSC

Ugh. There just isn’t a good way to spin this.
The tweet was deleted quickly and replaced:
Hey @Reince, why didn't you tell us you were moonlighting as a rapper? Turns out GOP Chair is the boss: http://t.co/tPfpgr2Uk6 @alexpappas

@DailyCaller @Reince @AlexPappas i was wondering how long it was going to take to remove that HNIC post. WOW less than 10 seconds.

But the damage was already done.
I don't expect much, but I expect more than this. RT @achorowitz 13m New low, @DailyCaller http://t.co/PjXZ9WJhzN #p2

Seconded RT @RBPundit: My suggestion would be for the @DailyCaller to quickly apologize.
— DCD (@DCDude1776) May 30, 2013
Twenty-nine minutes after sending the replacement tweet, the Daily Caller Twitterer posted an apology. Sort of:
Apologies for the earlier tweet, clearly been listening to too much Fashawn.
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) May 30, 2013
What's Fashawn? RT @DailyCaller Apologies for the earlier tweet, clearly been listening to too much Fashawn.

Fashawn is a rapper. Daily Caller, don’t quit your day job.
