How damn stupid does one man have to be??

"Allow me a moment, I'm just going to fuck my career over in a vigorous fashion on Twitter."

Exclusive: White House Official Fired for Tweeting Under Fake Name - The Daily Beast

Jofi Joseph, a director in the non-proliferation section of the National Security Staff at the White House, has been surreptitiously tweeting under the moniker @natsecwonk, a Twitter feed famous inside Washington policy circles since it began in February, 2011 until it was shut down last week. Two administration officials confirmed that the mystery tweeter was Joseph, who has also worked at the State Department and on Capitol Hill for Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Joe Biden. Until recently, he was part of the administration's team working on negotiations with Iran.

During his time tweeting under the @natsecwonk name, Joseph openly criticized the policies of his White House bosses and often insulted their intellect and appearance. At different times, he insulted or criticized several top White House and State Department officials, including former National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, Secretary of State John Kerry, and many many others.

The Daily Beast saved a long record of @natsecwonk's tweets prior to the shutting down of his Twitter feed.

“I'm a fan of Obama, but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like Valerie Jarrett concerns me,” he once tweeted.

I'm betting you thought that was funny, right?

How bout this bit.

“So when will someone do us the favor of getting rid of Sarah Palin and the rest of her white trash family? What utter useless garbage .... ,” he tweeted last October.

So he threw away his entire future in favor of being a Twitter whore.

Naw. Kidding.

There's a book in this for him, I'm sure. And surely a job on Fox.

His wife?

Carolyn Leddy is a well-respected professional staffer on the Republican side of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
