@vicharmonnyc I somehow missed Paul Ryan. My apologies. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mattizcoop Damn. Damn. Shows me how forgettable the 2012 Romney campaign was. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
The most emblematic Bob Dole joke. In 1976, shortly before he was named Jerry Ford's running mate, Dole apologized for showing up late for something on Capitol Hill. His opening words of apology: "Sorry, I was down at the White House helping Jerry pack." https://t.co/YnHkEQHYcq — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Bayeux188Lonnie Sorry. I look at Dole in the context of his long career. And I give him a pass for a last gasp of feeling relevant in his 90s. Sorry we disagree. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
No one on Capitol Hill was ever better than Dole at non-verbally signaling to reporters, “Just because I am saying this doesn’t mean I believe it. And you know it. But still you will have to put this quote in your stories.” — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Lieberman, John Edwards, Sarah Palin and Tim Kaine. The very short list of surviving VP nominees who never were elected. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ExGOPer It troubled me as well. But I don’t think that this lapse in his 90s defined Dole. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In honor of Bob Dole, I recommend that everyone read the chapters on the Bobster in Richard Ben Cramer’s “What It Takes.” Dole also was one of the funniest people in politics during his long career. I will miss him as the embodiment of an honorable GOP that no longer exists. — PolitiTweet.org

Not as bonkers as I had hoped. But, of course, I have all the books I am reading on a badly used cardboard box next to the pile of rags and leaves that serves as my bed. — PolitiTweet.org

@greenfield64 @yuanyi_z The Winchell answer is so on the mark that I can't even think who I'd put second. There are columnists whose legacies I revere (Murray Kempton, Mary McGrory, Bill Safire, etc.), but they are niche tastes rather than having a fraction of Winchell's influence. — PolitiTweet.org

Although the headline doesn't make this clear, this is good news. If it takes fear of Omicron to significantly increase the vaccination rate, that seems like a positive development at this early stage. https://t.co/cwJQboApca — PolitiTweet.org

@nnall @ron_fournier I don’t know Mitch Albom. I certainly am not a fan. But I respect good column writing and believe he pulled it off. Sorry we disagree. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ron_fournier Thanks for highlighting this powerful column. I would have missed it and its tear-stained passion otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Pro tip: You have to have actually mastered English to put off a double negative. This is just another example of Trumpian ill-informed arrogance. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump issues statement saying you are corrupt or stupid if you think there was massive election fraud. https://t.co/WBogVXvjfj

@mpdillon Too late. I have already grabbed it. But I had to lie and say that I was an only child. — PolitiTweet.org

@JenSeniorNY @gtconway3d @marakelly68 Rugelach supplies holding steady on the Upper West Side. Just wanted to offer a tiny bit of reassurance during these troubled times. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop Back in 2016, I mistakenly placed a big bet on Les Moonves who proved to be a one-trick wonder: Trump “may not be good for America. But it’s damn good for CBS. “ — PolitiTweet.org

@JournalYear @mattizcoop Terrific piece. — PolitiTweet.org

Is it possible that Jeff Zucker’s legacy in promoting sterling journalistic values (see Trump, Donald) may not exactly be on par with Ben Bradlee’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing has done more to damage the left in America over the past century or so than the relentless pursuit of political purity and doctrinal perfection. — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful @JillDLawrence column on guns and abortion: "If you’re 'pro-life,' why not support reasonable gun restrictions? Why not support COVID vaccines to save lives, including your own?...Why oppose vaccine mandates but require people to bear children?" https://t.co/cnVFeJeDYk — PolitiTweet.org

@barkinbob That detail in the Times story rather puzzled me. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not funny. This is a tragedy worthy of Sophocles. I will have to add refrigeration for the cream cheese to the closet where I still have a hoarders’ supply of toilet paper. — PolitiTweet.org

@charlesmurray Cable is much worse regardless of channel. The endless repetition, the gasbag panels confidently talking about the 2024 election. The ersatz “Breaking News” alerts. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@jackshafer The transcripts of the Walter Shapiro Show are even better. And sometimes they’re called columns. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Kudos for reminding the world that cable ratings are minuscule and its influence (even Fox) wildly over-hyped. Personally, I refuse to watch it because I envision brain cell flaking off like dandruff. If it’s truly important, there will be a transcript. — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeLenski @BillsMafia1985 @JMilesColeman @WinWithJMC I forgot that wrinkle. AL electing its electors individually is a strong reason why Nixon probably won the national popular vote in 1960. AL split its electors between segregationists and Kennedy. — PolitiTweet.org
