Political problem with this quote: Trump said what he’s against but never explained what he’s for in terms of sex. — PolitiTweet.org

@TomSquitieri I played around with Garbo’s “I vant to be alone.” But that didn’t work either for Sinema. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@TomSquitieri But I see your point. Back to the drawing board since that silent movie trope is headed for the cutting room floor. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol You win that round. — PolitiTweet.org

It strikes me that Kyrsten Sinema is behaving like a silent-movie star in the era of talkies. She is full of exaggerated poses and gestures, but she is unable to speak a word. That is, of course, when she deigns to appear on Capitol Hill. — PolitiTweet.org

@DianeSchellham1 @HelenKennedy @MollyJongFast It just came to me: “We’re saving on clothes for Christmas at Robert Hall this year.” Then somebody in the 1950s ad shouts, “Low overhead.” — PolitiTweet.org

There are many great reasons to read @JillDLawrence's column on the Hillary Clinton-Louise Penny collaboration. But my favorite is the emphasis on what Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" used to mean in the Reagan years compared to the Trump era. https://t.co/gbJCOD4jJo — PolitiTweet.org

@jmartNYT I'm with you on Mark Mellman for Nevada, for example. But I still am very wary of leaked polls. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@jmartNYT @MarkMellman @CurtOnMessage Big problem with internal campaign polls. Only the ones with favorable numbers or feed a comeback narrative are leaked. It would be different if we got access to all the internal polling of a particular campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 The movie is called “Damn Dodgers.” And it’s a musical. — PolitiTweet.org

@fordm @AthertonKD I’d pay more. But save me from 87 passwords and the nuisance of canceling subscriptions that I haven’t used in months. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@fordm Let me stress that I am happy to pay for an individual article. I wish there were an all-access paid pass to groups of newspaper content. But I hate it when my only option is to take out a long-term subscription. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@fordm Seriously, I was thinking of promoting an article in the Arizona Republic based on its headline: "New Arizona audit review shows Cyber Ninjas' ballot count off by 312 K. " But I couldn't get access to the story without subscribing. So instead, I said, "The hell with it. " — PolitiTweet.org

Damn. I completely forgot to enter the Boston Marathon. But today’s victor should know that the result would have been entirely different if I hadn’t neglected to fill out the entry form — or train. — PolitiTweet.org

@BGrueskin @EliStokols @MLB It’s a correct call, but the rule should be revised. Shouldn’t reward Babe Herman-like OF play. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank God there will be no ghost runner on second in the 10th in the Red Sox-Rays game. This is the first time we are saved from this abomination of Manfred Ball this season. — PolitiTweet.org

@Betsy_Cazden My point isn't about congressional votes. It's about the Democrats staking their future on a multi-trillion-dollar spending plan that they haven't explained to the voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@RalstonReports This is one that I will go to the barricades on. It's "affect" that creates the desired effect. "Impact" as a verb lands with the grace of a drunken tightrope walker. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@julia_azari It is roughly the same thing that I'm getting at. My obsession is Democrats wailing about the unfairness of each state getting two senators. Since it is embedded in the Constitution and unchangeable, why are we wasting so much time on things like this? — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@julia_azari Part of the problem is the Democrats continually carry around a huge sign that reads, "The End is Nigh." — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@Ma1Reyno1ds Think the Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill are also to blame for this. — PolitiTweet.org
