Great Moments in Liberal Civility

‘Why Couldn’t It Be Scott Walker?’ Feminist Tweets After Paul Walker Killed

Paul Walker, star of the Fast and Furious action-movie series, was killed at age 40 yesterday in a car accident. Reacting to the news, Erin Gloria Ryan, news editor of the feminist site Jezebel, decided to take a cheap partisan shot at the Republican governor of Wisconsin:

Probably contributing to  liberal irritation at Scott Walker, who has succeeded in balancing Wisconsin's budget without a tax increase by, among other things forcing Wisconsin public workers to contribute 5.8% toward their retirements and 12.6% to their healthcare, was this laudatory column by George Will.

Upon being called on it, Ryan deleted the tweet, saying "Dumb joke deleted. Apologies."
