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. 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?

@morninggloria Why, because you bosses said so? No one believes you did it bc you felt bad. You did it bc you got caught.

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?

Actor Nick Searcy weighed in:

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

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:

Tragic and untimely death? Yuk, yuk, yuk!
Seek help.
