It’s been a busy week for the Rowan County clerk’s office. And if you think it’s been bad for county clerk Kim Davis – who’s now in federal custody for continually refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples – try being one of her coworkers.

That’s the idea behind a parody Twitter account that’s quickly shot to more than 50,000 followers amid all the uproar. Using a photo of an as-yet-unnamed clerk’s office staffer sitting next to Davis mid-confrontation, @nexttokimdavis shares expletive-laden thoughts about Mountain Dew, Project Runway, and about how “this was supposed to just be a chill job.”

It’s a hilarious dressing down of Davis, who’s been hailed as an anti-gay hero. Here are some of the account’s best gems:

    Oh my, TPM, you’re such a tease.

  2. Ah, the joys of snark. The staffer looks like she just wants to murder Davis. Huckabee needs to read the Constitution some time. Maybe he and Davis can move to Uganda.

    Oh wait- they don’t want to move somewhere where they would be a minority! Too many “darkies”.

  3. My sense of humor is seriously impaired. So I can never tell if something is actually funny to other people.

  4. I’m going to go ahead and guess that IStandWithKimDavis is either her 1st, 2nd, or 3rd husband.

    Now that was funny. The tweets–not so much.
