@juliadahl Everyone on my list is over 85. So Doris Kearns Goodwin, Octavia Butler and Joyce Carol Oates are too young. Betty White was a major omission on my part. — PolitiTweet.org

@kenwalsh77 Alas, the great newspaper columnist died in 2017. — PolitiTweet.org

@SweetAl Instead of Kissinger. I should immediately add Tom Lehrer. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@epanitch @CheriJacobus Definitely Betty White. Everyone on my list is over 85 so Dolly Parton is much too young. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@2017Tough @CheriJacobus Obviously. But forgive me this little bit of homage to those at vulnerable ages whom I revere. — PolitiTweet.org

I have been compiling my personal priority list for getting the vaccine next week. High on the list are Stephen Sondheim, Mel Brooks, Roger Angell, Robert Caro and James Earl Jones. — PolitiTweet.org

In just 39 days, we can stop worrying about Trump nuking Denmark over Greenland. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@mattizcoop Your ability to recognize the inspiration for the strange change of Trump’s tone and his switch to the second person is impressive. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

I hope and pray that Biden isn’t going with an intense partisan like Cuomo as AG. This would not be the way to bring apolitical credibility back to the Justice Department. Happy to see Cuomo in other posts. — PolitiTweet.org

@1PatriciaMurphy Hasn’t American gone down this road before? I vaguely remember something in history class. — PolitiTweet.org

@richgalen There is only one price -- $1 million. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@Profepps Baseball Commissioner Judge Landis was next on my list — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@richgalen Or exactly what Constitutional remedies Putin might suggest. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@Profepps Can't Trump go to the UN Security Council? Or the International Court of Justice? What about the Justice League of America? Or Judge Roy Bean, the only law West of the Pecos? — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Dying to know how Trump thinks he can punish Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett. Maybe he will file suit to rescind his nomination of them to the Supreme Court. Still waiting for him to announce 2022 primary challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Thank God. It simplifies life to know that McCarthy too is devoid of any belief in democratic principle and free elections. — PolitiTweet.org

@JRubinBlogger And Stefanik came in as a Rove protege, which tells you how far into nutcase land the GOP has gone. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Unlike her rival, Liz Cheney, Stefanik signed the Supteme Court brief. NPR is a small way station on her road to the nutcase right. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Now Time can you do “Sore Loser of the Year”? — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Since it has gone from “Man of the Year” to “Person of the Year,” I don’t understand what’s wrong with “People of the Year.” — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@farhip @mviser And California to boot. — PolitiTweet.org

@lefoudubaron @JaneMayerNYer Sorry. I have covered him for years and I don't see a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

@OsitaNwanevu My wife hates them. I happily lug them. We are, what you might call, a divided household. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@OsitaNwanevu I hope you're "pro." — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@JaneMayerNYer I couldn't help thinking of Trent Lott's gushy praise for the gaga Strom Thurmond on his 100th birthday. And how Thurmond probably didn't understand it, but it caused Lott to resign and (voila) be reborn as a high-priced DC lobbyist — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Painful but honest. Kudos to @JaneMayerNYer for saying that Feinstein's decline cannot be papered over. And, yes, Mayer also talks about men like Thurmond and Byrd who were in far worse shape at the end of their lengthy -- too lengthy -- careers. https://t.co/ddmVJhkFVH — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Is Trump referring to the Jews on the Supreme Court? Or the angry Old Tratament God? — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@EJKessler Even in the old days of Time, they made thinks like the student revolt and the home computer the annual winner. So yes a hybrid choice is possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

I think COVID trumps Biden. May be high concept on the virus or Fauci. — PolitiTweet.org

@jarowley @PhilipTerzian The Washington Post clip that I included about Neil Bush charmed life as a presidential brother wasn’t about Silverado. — PolitiTweet.org
