Just Guess How Keith Olbermann, Dan Savage and the Onion React to the Death of Conservative Justice Scalia

More than a few folks caught a glimpse of what Buzzfeed news editor Rachel Zarrell tweeted after learning of the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia — but she quickly deleted her posts.

But others left theirs up.

The following is what former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, outspoken gay advocate Dan Savage and others — even the Onion — declared on social media after hearing that the staunch conservative justice had died:

Savage posted several tweets:

Back me up, @timothykeck: the other day in your office I said, "My friend is dying but Scalia is going to live forever."

Hate being wrong.

And, yes, I said I would maintain a dignified silence -- but I didn't say for how long. 22 minutes was the best I could do.
