Okay, conservatives—at this point in the game I’m fine with you killing irony. Just don’t flay its carcass in front of my eyes, wear its skin like a clammy Jazzercise leotard, and pretend that everything is normal. It isn’t. It hasn’t been for some time now.
Apparently forgetting ... erm ... someone, Fox News host Gillian Turner and her guest, The Hill columnist Joe Concha, took White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain to task on Monday for tweeting too much. And, you know, retweeting unhinged conspiracy theorists.

Transcript!
You know, I wasn’t aware that Ron Klain does this because I don’t see his supposedly vom-inducing tweets covered by the media on a daily basis. So how bad can they be, really?

But, sure, retweeting Joy Reid is just as bad. And we all know how counterproductive it is for a White House chief of staff to waste time tweeting the day away on the toilet. After all, that’s the president’s bailiwick.
I know they’re just trolling us half the time, but come on. There have to be limits, right?
Right?
It made comedian Sarah Silverman say, “THIS IS FUCKING BRILLIANT,” and prompted author Stephen King to shout “Pulitzer Prize!!!” (on Twitter, that is). What is it? The viral letter that launched four hilarious Trump-trolling books. Get them all, including the finale, Goodbye, Asshat: 101 Farewell Letters to Donald Trump, at this link. Or, if you prefer a test drive, you can download the epilogue to Goodbye, Asshat for the low, low price of FREE.
