@MHackman I will stick with you. But do read the Salinger short story, “To Esme with Love and Squalor.” — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman I know. I know. But that reality didn’t strike me as amusing as Rahm in Tokyo. — PolitiTweet.org

@theblatt Rahm is perfect for delivering a "stiff diplomatic note." He seems disastrous for delivering a diplomatic diplomatic note. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
According to this article, Rahm is a leading contender to be ambassador to Japan. Quick: Name the country that puts the highest premium on surface politeness and courtesy. Then, also quick, name the prominent Democrat who is last to come to mind as polite. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden seems set to pick fight over Rahm Emanuel https://t.co/MZtjDEOefU https://t.co/PXTezHAoIg

@luther16matthew Absolutely. Start with the Biden chapters: Chapter 17, Chapter 19, Start of Chapter 21, Chapter 25, Chapter 30, Pages 479-493 (Chapters 38-39). Pages 498-501 (Chapter 41), Chapters 46-47, Chapters 62-67. Pages 708-714 (Chapters 77-78). Pages 905-910 (Chapter 112). — PolitiTweet.org

@DougJBalloon When I was at the Post, the gossip was more about who was going to get a coveted overseas assignment and which editors were going to move up. — PolitiTweet.org

@DougJBalloon When I was at the Washington Post in the early 1980s, I recall half-serious conversations about starting a subscription newsletter for Washington insiders that would deliver Post gossip on a daily basis. — PolitiTweet.org

@Margoandhow No, alas. — PolitiTweet.org

@Margoandhow Great story. — PolitiTweet.org

@Profepps @johnastoehr I made the cynical tradeoff in 1884 that it was more important to have a Democratic president than to make a moral judgment on his behavior. And I have regretted my cowardly decision for the last 137 years. — PolitiTweet.org

@NormOrnstein @ProfCiara Harry Winston Trump has a certain ring to it. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@heathbrown I did read the chapters on Bush in Esquire that Cramer sold to raise money to finish the book. Normally, authors get magazines to buy book chapters to promote the book. In this case, Esquire supported the finishing of the book. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman @RobGeorge And it is not only on the right wing. Glen Taylor, a Democratic senator from Idaho and Henry Wallace's 1948 running mate for VP, was a singing cowboy by trade. — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkLeibovich Yikes. I will claim that my Twitter feed has been hacked. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman @RobGeorge Didn't an actor once become governor of California? And then there was Senator George Murphy immortalized by Tom Lehrer as "At last we have a senator who can sing and dance." — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkLeibovich Dukakis is the best presidential candidate to ever emerge from Brookline. He also is the only losing presidential candidate to serve as a governor with a lieutenant governor who also later lost for president (John Kerry). — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkLeibovich Once again credulous columnist falls for myth -- and forgets JFK's rambling ways. — PolitiTweet.org

@GibsonWrites The Pope visited Joe Alsop? — PolitiTweet.org

@pattmlatimes This is wonderful. Thanks so much for alerting me to it. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@MichaelMcGough3 That's why I remembered it. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@heathbrown A bit, especially since we were both writing for Esquire at the time. Cramer also, to my enduring gratitude, blurbed my book on the 2004 Democratic primary race, "One-Car Caravan." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Presidents, as we all know, rarely visit private homes. Somehow the Biden visit to Dole got me thinking about JFK's last stop on Inauguration Night 1961 -- the Georgetown house of columnist Joe Alsop. https://t.co/wiff2XEuf6 — PolitiTweet.org

@RBonner_ @ktumulty @NormOrnstein @rubycramer God yes. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@stoatVA @NormOrnstein I am doing this from memory, but I thought that the problem was Jesse Jackson himself. He couldn't commit enough interview time for Cramer to do the kind of profile he wanted. And Cramer didn't want to do an incomplete job. Gore, by the way, refused to participate. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@NormOrnstein I am teaching the Biden chapters this coming week in my seminar on presidential politics and the news media at Yale. And I can't think of Dole without mentally calling him, as Cramer does, "the Bobster." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@MaggioMatt Not sure i follow. What I was writing about is Biden and Dole as featured in "What It Takes." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@alexheard At a memorial for Richard Ben Cramer at Columbia J School in 2013, Biden told about how one late night in the Senate when Dole read the draft of his chapters in "What It Takes" it inspired Dole to talk about his life in a way that Biden never heard before or since. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
It is relevant to point that Joe Biden and Bob Dole were the two most memorable profiles in Richard Ben Cramer's magisterial book on the 1988 presidential campaign, "What It Takes." They were the real-life characters who jumped off the page in the best book on politics ever. — PolitiTweet.org

@LynnSherr @Profepps @kotsiebader @Dale_E_Hayes I spent about 10 minutes going through various slightly exotic locales until I realized that in terms of milage the winner for me appears to be clean, orderly and slightly boring Singapore. — PolitiTweet.org
