“she had sent a text calling a black party operative the N-word”

No! No! No! You must keep her AND promote the operative over her.

So, then I’d likely be wrong if I assumed that Ms. Waters graduated from a French finishing school.

Perhaps Ms. Waters would tell us what she meant to type. I’m a little puzzled because it’s not something you’d type instead of “awesome guy” or “person whose dilatory response is of course understandable.”

Waters told the Daily News it was an “unfortunate typo.”
“I usually type very fast, and in this case, I moved too fast to see that the word was there,” she said. “I made the typo because I did not proofread my text.”

I’m curious what she was trying to spell that turned into the N-word.

Perhaps something to do with the metallurgy of Nickel (Ni) and Gallium (Ga) alloys??

But, probably not.

Over the weekend, the state’s Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) and Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush pushed for Waters’ resignation via Twitter.

“Her comments are offensive to everyone in the community,” Patrick tweeted.

Bush asserted there was “no reason, no excuse and no room in our party for racist comments.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) spokesperson, John Wittman, told the Austin Statesman that her comments were “absolutely abhorrent” and “have no place in the Republican party.”

Hey, remember when these guys came down just as unequivocally when the New York Times and Washington Post revealed that then-Gov. Rick Perry “had once hunted at and taken guests to a hunting camp that had the name Niggerhead painted on a rock at the entrance”?

Yeah, me neither.

Maybe she shouldn’t type so fast. I find that when I type too fast I start making typos that resemble chemical equations, and then I make outrageous stoichiometric howlers that I never meant to write in the first pkace.

A racist message that did not include the “N-Word” would have been OK?

Maybe a royalist/Nazi one. Pretty sure casual racism, even of the self-hating variety, is a required course.

Texas. Must be something in the water. I’d ask what, but in Texas it is illegal to ask what’s leaching into the groundwater.

How is that not the first followup question?

“Since you know what you meant to type you won’t need to think really hard to tell us what it was. What was it you meant to put?”

“Nitwit”.

Because it’s still the 1940s.

The last letter in typical is close to B & M

Thing is your spellcheck defaults to word spellings you use frequently.
