As a True Christian™, I would like to take a moment to flick my fingers in the direction of #ElizabethLauten and mutter “Bye, Felicia!”

.... even better, I'd say!

but I always follow it with "I mean that in the southern sense."

Down south, you can say absolutely the nastiest thing you want to about another person as long as you follow it up with "bless his/her heart."

For Lauten, it's "I hope she's realized that spitefulness directed at children is not an attractive quality, bless her heart." It could also be some of her own medicine, "She really needs to rethink those narrow, square glasses, they make her face look broader and more doughy, bless her heart."

I'm surprised more people savaging her on Twitter didn't use "bless her heart" to give the knives they were shoving into her a little extra twist at the end.

Still, I did notice her once full personal page now has 3 bland tweets on it.

Two southern ladies are sitting at the country club by the pool. The first southern lady says, "When I had my first child, my husband bought me a diamond ring." The second lady says, "Well, isn't that nice."
The first lady then says, "When my second child was born, my husband took me on a cruise." The second lady says,''Well isn't that nice."
The first lady continues, "When my third child was born, my husband took me on a trip around the world." And the second lady says, once again, "Well, isn't that nice."
The first lady asks, "Well, what did your husband get you when your first child was born?" The second lady replies, "My husband sent me to finishing school." The first lady asks, "Well why did he do that?" And the second lady says, "So I could learn to say ‘Well isn't that nice,’ instead of ‘FUCK YOU’!"

.... we really don't want to know.
