This is a day that literally transformed my life. My parents were married in August 1941, but Pearl Harbor convinced them to delay having children until after the war. I wonder how many other early baby boomers had similar life arcs. — PolitiTweet.org

@Profepps @VP Special prosecutor ( Ken Starr or someone he chooses) is legally mandatory in these cases. — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeTom @JillDLawrence It's late and I mistakenly wrote George Soros for George Schultz so I deleted a tweet, What I meant to say is that classic examples are Clark Clifford with BCCI and George Shultz with Thantos. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@RadioFreeTom @JillDLawrence I think of Clark Clifford with BCCI. And George Soros with Thantos. — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeTom @JillDLawrence I try to deal with it in the piece. My most charitable interpretation -- it was an old man's final misguided grasp at relevance. But, trust me, I don't ignore it. — PolitiTweet.org

My new post-Trump test, which Dole, McCain and Romney passed with flying colors: "Would you feel confident in American democracy if this person were the leader of the opposing political party?" — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesFallows @WSJ Thank you. I sort of fell for it in the Journal. — PolitiTweet.org

@jrregier Thanks. I had friends from Kansas in the 1970s who had worked for Dr. Roy. There was no chance that I would write a Dole appreciation without mentioning it. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
From my Bob Dole appreciation in @newrepublic: "Dole could never resist punctuating the pieties of politics like a mischievous boy’s love of setting off small firecrackers. Dole, for all his raging ambition, would rather have been funny than president." https://t.co/k0HiUM9bDL — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
My appreciation of Bob Dole, partly fueled by covering his 1988 and 1996 presidential campaigns. And, yes, life was better back then for American democracy: https://t.co/k0HiUM9bDL — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MaxBoot: I ❤️ NYC. Proud to live in a city that leads the country in vaccine mandates. More of America needs to follow NYC’s lead. — PolitiTweet.org

@charlesmurray Maybe Mencken. But that’s about it. Though Winchell had imitators all through the 20th century. — PolitiTweet.org

@SendStephen How is this different than any other law? Repeal is always possible, along with years wasted in trying as in Obamacare. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@William_Voegeli Yes. Honorable is not a synonym for perfect. It is: "Would you want this person as a leader of the opposing party in a democracy?" Reagan easily passes. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeDiSano The movie with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire is what stays with me. The movie is so downbeat that Astaire doesn't dance a step. I think this may actually be a case where the original movie is better than the novel, which I also read. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@JoeDiSano For those over 60, there were always the happy days of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the constant fears of nuclear war. Try watching "On the Beach" for cheerful movie-going. — PolitiTweet.org

It would be an epic turnabout for Mitch McConnell if his crusade to appoint rightwing justices eventually led to the destruction of his beloved filibuster over abortion rights. It would be the legislative version of Icarus flying too near the sun. — PolitiTweet.org
Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein
Indeed. If they are willing to change the filibuster, it can happen https://t.co/JGj2SWnLSB

@petermarksdrama Clearly, "PM" refers to evening wear. I had expected to see the hanger adorned with white tie and tails. — PolitiTweet.org

I too have written about the inappropriateness in 2021 of a Senate Building being named for a segregationist. And I would think that honoring Dole would be a great way to get Russell's name off the building: https://t.co/t225NBJvWy — PolitiTweet.org

@pattmlatimes @LarrySabato Difference was that Udall and Simpson were joke-tellers and raconteurs. Dole's humor flowed directly from his mordant view of life -- which is why my memories of Dole's humor was all spontaneous cracks accompanied by wagging eyebrows. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbview Hart is of course very good in “What It Takes.” But Biden makes the book so much more relevant today. And I deal with Hart through Matt Bail’s “The Truth Is Out.” — PolitiTweet.org

@jbview I have been teaching the Biden chapters in "What It Takes" for a decade in a political science seminar on the news media and presidential politics that I teach at Yale. — PolitiTweet.org

@kcm74 I never had to write daily stories from Capitol Hill in the Dole era. I am just posting my memories of the non-verbal staging. Sorry we disagree about Dole. — PolitiTweet.org

@ktumulty Bleakest campaign plane in history: Traveling with Dole the week after he lost the 1988 NH primary (and the nomination) to Bush. — PolitiTweet.org
