@SenatorZero I watched a bunch of reruns during the summer in the era of just three networks because there was nothing else on. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dceiver @alex_shephard Love this. Thanks for the dash of soul-destroying reality. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@SenatorZero But they were half an hour comedies. My examples are dramas that run 60-70 minutes each in an era of abundant new shows on Netflix to stream. — PolitiTweet.org

Back in the days when worthless clicks were the coin of the realm online, the Huffington Post hit a gusher by headlining a very very short article, “What Time Is the Super Bowl ?” — PolitiTweet.org

@richgalen Clearly, my Netflix avatar. What I don't know, though, is who the guy on the left is supposed to be. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Today's tiny mystery -- why does Netflix believe that I want to see a TV series again that I just finished watching two weeks ago? Has Covid really killed short-term memory? https://t.co/gPD394zNeq — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a bit late to this, but here is a very smart @JillDLawrence column on the Republican crackup. And, for Democrats who recall a certain governor hiking along the Appalachian Trail, it is confounding to encounter Mark Sanford as an anti-Trump hero: https://t.co/OK1zxmEC2F — PolitiTweet.org

@jackshafer @republicofspin @CarlosLozadaWP @BooksandBooks I read Mencken for his prose (even though he was anti-FDR) and "The Daily Worker" for the political analysis. But traveling regularly on the Hoover campaign train, I often had to make do with handouts from the GOP p-r team. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoshuaMZeitz @republicofspin @CarlosLozadaWP @BooksandBooks I know this is semi-heresy, but I never was that blown away by Hunter Thompson on politics. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@republicofspin @CarlosLozadaWP @BooksandBooks Personally, I always thought that Dole-Clinton 1996 and Bush-Kerry 2004 had raw material worthy of a remake of "The Iliad." Seriously, it is hard to top 1968. Or any election involving Richard Nixon or JFK. — PolitiTweet.org

@republicofspin @CarlosLozadaWP @BooksandBooks I've been meaning to reread it. I am awed at the amount of writing talent deployed on politics in the late 1960s and early 1970s. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@CarlosLozadaWP @BooksandBooks Would love to know how it stands up 53 years after the 1968 conventions. Because I teach them at Yale, I know “Making of the President 1960” and “Boys on the Bus” age rather well. — PolitiTweet.org

@hiltzikm Ad slogan for our Gazpacho pix: "Jewish Space Lasers 2: "Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Pick Up Your Soup Spoon." — PolitiTweet.org

@hiltzikm Haven't heard about Hollywood's love of sequels? I am saving it for "Jewish Space Lasers 2 -- the Revenge of the Gazpacho." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I too have a movie that I can't get funding for. It's all about the menace to humanity from Jewish space lasers. Why, oh why, won't the lefties in Hollywood green light a sure-fire project like this? Especially since Mel Gibson has agreed to play George Soros. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden just announced he will go to Cleveland on Thursday. Parma, Ohio, about 10 miles away has the largest Ukrainian community in the state. Just wondering about side trips. https://t.co/XRLCDIRvnZ — PolitiTweet.org

@deborahamos If not now, then when? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Easy explanation: For today's GOP, loyalty to Trump (who hates mail ballots except when he uses them) is more important than winning elections. Only a political party that has lost its moorings to reality would go out of its way to disenfranchise its own voters. — PolitiTweet.org

@innerpeece @petermarksdrama Glad you enjoyed it. No need for unanimity when it comes to theater reviews. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Kudos to @petermarksdrama for the best kicker on a theater review that I can recall. It is his apt conclusion to his pan of the beloved (by me) revival of "The Music Man," a remake that I certainly won't rush to see. https://t.co/pSorvegmJs — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelMcGough3 @JacobHeilbrunn Can I optimistically predict that Putin will punt? — PolitiTweet.org

The news this morning is so depressing that I came away from the breakfast table convinced that Canadian truckers are set to invade Ukraine to protest high inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

@IsaacDovere @amyklobuchar And you never know when one of these hottest-ticket candidates are going to take off. Primaries are potentially more volatile than the conventional wisdom would argue. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheJohnsonPost Funny. I confuse them both a lot. — PolitiTweet.org

That is the most horrible thought of the day. My idea of punishment for the baseball owners -- an old-fashioned World Series pitting the top teams in each league. If it was good enough for Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. — PolitiTweet.org

Many amazing things in this great piece. My favorite bit of rightwing paranoia: "While the state [Wyoming] is currently solidly Republican, Mr. Seddon and Ms. Gore believed it was in danger of turning toward the Democrats, as Colorado has." If only a 70% Trump state would turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Between now and the 2024 elections, I suspect that McConnell may be about the most interesting person in politics. It's fascinating to watch how a total cynic with stylistic disdain for Trump plays his cards. https://t.co/XRtvhAVfLL — PolitiTweet.org

Not minimizing the irresponsibility of Fox News. But your 11+ million figure assumes no one watches more than one prime-time Fox host or watches for more than an hour. More likely most Fox viewers see two or three of them per night. Remember: Most voters don't watch cable news. — PolitiTweet.org

@EBOlady @joelmsiegel I wear my N95 indoors and only outdoors when I'm going from my apartment to a cab or a nearby store. That said, everything I've read has said that the risks of outdoor transmission are very very low. But then I am not an epidemiologist nor do I play one on TV. — PolitiTweet.org
