But he nursed a grudge for decades. The graduation speech in 2005, when Reid was Senate minority leader, was a chance to bury the hatchet. He started to tell the story, and to his surprise, the audience laughed. They thought it was a joke. — PolitiTweet.org

Reid went to the dean of students, “a man by the name of Potts,” to see if he could get some help from the university. Instead, Potts said, “Mr. Reid, maybe the law is not for you. Why don’t you just quit law school?” — PolitiTweet.org

He hadn’t set foot on the campus in 40 years. He wanted to explain, and to apologize. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, I realized too late that writing a thinkpiece on the filibuster is the political-reporter equivalent of starting a land war in Asia. — PolitiTweet.org

I was at Sam's Town in Vegas watching my uncle @barrygreenstein play high-stakes poker. They made the casino put the news on the TV in the poker room & immediately started placing bets on what would happen next. — PolitiTweet.org
