Not a good day for Joe Cowley, a columnist for the Sun-Times.

Apparently, his plane was delayed this morning, and instead of reading a good book, he did some tweets that weren’t nice to women. His tweets questioning the capabilities of a “Chick pilot” started an exchange with sport reporter Sloane Martin that I’m guessing he now regrets.

As a result, Cowley’s tweets have become a Sunday afternoon topic for Deadspin. And that’s not a good thing. The site did an original post and two follow-ups, including a report that Cowley de-activated his Twitter account.

As folks in Chicago know, Cowley is very active on Twitter. He enjoys being edgy, and ticking off people.

However, there’s always that line in everything, and it looks as if Cowley might have crossed it.

I’m more likely to see a Squatch before I see a hot flight attendant. Then again, I think the airlines are hiring Squatch’s to do that job.
