By Anne Cohen July 12, 2013
Paula Deen jokes have been all over the Internet since the Southern food maven’s use of the N-word and other racial slurs became public knowledge.
But none of the aforementioned gags tops Joan Rivers’ tweet, posted on Friday after it was announced that Barry Weiss, Deen’s longtime agent, had gotten the sack:
Paula Deen fired her agent. I guess he came back from summer vacation a shade too tan for her.
