Nick Ayers, the executive director of the Republican Governors Association, tweeted a series of jokes this morning about White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel trying to get certain Democratic governors to retire.
Rahm: “Gov Paterson you should accept the ambassadorship to New Zealand. Its beautiful there. Have you not seen it?…oh, right, sorry.”
New York Gov. David Paterson is legally blind.

Late update: Ayers has apologized and deleted the tweet.
