@k8croy I'm much more of a Broadway guy anyway. And my con-man great uncle got his start on Broadway though he did have a stint in 1916 making silent movies until there was (shockingly) an insurance fire. — PolitiTweet.org

@EJDionne Luckily, all I have been doing during this homebound period is reading and rereading, "Tap Dancing for Dummies." So I'll be certain to be ready for my Broadway opening. — PolitiTweet.org

A personal note: I just signed a contract for my book "Hustling Hitler" about my con-man great-uncle to be turned into a musical. The odds of it hitting Broadway are long, but Freeman Bernstein was a grifter worthy of "The Producers." https://t.co/eGOGGO9VT2 — PolitiTweet.org

Don't forget Harry Daugherty, Harding's corrupt AG, who escaped two trials for fraud about his service in office by dint of hung juries. Another former Attorney General who was much less disgraceful than William Barr. — PolitiTweet.org

@StuPolitics We're in agreement. I was just ineptly mocking the Trump claims that there are always millions clamoring to get inside his rallies. — PolitiTweet.org

As a public service, below is a link to the form for requesting an Oklahoma absentee ballot. However, those infected with Covid-19 from the Trump rally will have to hang on until the absentee ballots are mailed in October. https://t.co/RKhE1gtk4O — PolitiTweet.org

@JournalYear Just deleted my prior reply because of an embarrassing typo. What I wanted to say is that Klobuchar just displayed impeccable political instincts in taking herself out of consideration for a job that she knew she wouldn't get because of the changed political climate. — PolitiTweet.org

@JournalYear Didn't know about East Africa. But Klobuchar's withdrawal was a classic case of good political instincts and nothing when to withdraw gracefully. — PolitiTweet.org

@RachelBitecofer I love Vera Lynn. She and the Queen are probably the two most important figures in World War II (Lynn as the most popular singer and the Queen as a Princess who addressed the children of Britain) who are still alive. — PolitiTweet.org

@SKRollins I am not over-romancing the power of the baseball commissioner. My point is that, as a former president, Bush would have the clout to convince the owners not to drive off a cliff. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sure Trump and Pence have an easy explanation for this: "Since Memorial Day, Texas has seen an 84 percent rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations; in Arizona, hospitalizations have risen 90 percent over the same period." Maybe it's Obama's fault. https://t.co/eSdkgVO0sf — PolitiTweet.org

@Huerts31 Because I've always believed that he cares more about baseball than politics. And, because as a former president, he might have the clout to convince the owners not to drive off a cliff. — PolitiTweet.org

@mike_littwin @CharlesPPierce When I was briefly doing baseball pieces for Time in the early 1990s, between presidential races, I realized that Bush was, by far, the best owner. And I thought about -- and, alas, never got around to -- doing a piece about his tenure with the Rangers. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, I do. But Bush may be the rare person in the world who could get the owners to realize that they are destroying the game. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who also was chosen by the owners at a time of desperation, might be the closest analog. https://t.co/drMUdOzXfG — PolitiTweet.org
