Steaming pile of liberal waste product, Bethlehem Shoals, is what passes for a writer at GQ.

There is no excuse for this. Should he be fired?

[Northeastah]

douche, but at least he owned up to it and apologized.

[pknopp]

well, I will give him credit for doing something few will do. Accepting full blame on himself and offering a believable apology.

He didn't say "I am sorry if I offended anyone". He simply said he was wrong.

I think if I was in his position I would attempt to personally apologize to her.

Someone says something stupid on Twitter then offers an apology after it's called out for being stupid.

At this point, this crap happens so much that I'm no longer all that interested. What he said was wrong. Simple. He owned up to it and apologized, even if he was just doing it to save his job. He still took back what he said and simply said it was dumb. Actually, on this one he didn't really sugar coat it like most public apologies are these days.

But yeah, it's hard for me to engage in the 30th "sorry for that Tweet" story this month, especially when the conversation you're trying to start is as generic and boring as this one. Maybe a thread on the Twitter culture and public apology trend would be interesting. But nah, not on CD. Let's stick to (circle on) 'Liberals - Conservatives' are stupid.

It does show a certain level of immaturity. I won't lie....I've sat in front of the television before and said "I'd like to punch that person in the face".

The difference is I knew it was an irrational response and not to allow it go any further than the adjoining walls.

He was of course wrong and should be fired but don't let one incident from one person go by to generalize "the left', geesh.

If I were his editor, he would be. Inexcusable, unconscionable, and unacceptable.

Hey this is the heart of the liberal socialist....kill those that disagree....Hilter, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao...our progressives have the same heart to kill those that disagree.

It's one thing when you're a moron, but when you're a moron and put the company you work for in a bad light, then yes, you lose your job.

I'm not on social media for the same reason I don't own a gun. Eventually I'd shoot myself in the foot...but at least I know that about myself and adjust.

It's -- yes, IT'S -- name isn't even Bethlehem Shoals. It's name is actually Nathaniel Friedman, and he's a blogger and journalist who covers basketball.

So a guy who needs to use a pen name wants to beat a woman to death. Classy guy. It speaks volumes that GQ has not fired him. It speaks even more volumes that this story has largely been ignored by the alphabet networks.
