Stay Classy, Retweets

Script Summary: Add a class for the user retweeting a tweet

THIS SCRIPT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING ON ITS OWN! You need a user stylesheet.

I use my user stylesheet to hide retweets of certain users. Twitter sets a class on every status, so you can do

.u-douchebag { display: none; }

unfortunately they don't set a class for the retweeting user. This fixes that, so you can do

.r-poortasteinfriends { display: none; }

This script should not be necessary, because there's a setting on user profiles to disable retweets, but it's been broken for months and I haven't gotten any reply from Twitter about it.
