@DemFromCT @ClydeHaberman Also just plain “@waltershapiro” was taken when I had to change my Twitter handle after Politics Daily died in 2011. True, however, I resent corporate entities like Uber and CVS automatically calling me by my first name. — PolitiTweet.org

@jacknicorose Okay, I yield. Walter Burns was the greatest City Editor of the first part of the 20th Century. And Lou Grant gets 1950 onward. But Lou Grant never claimed that his star reporter stole his watch. — PolitiTweet.org

@MilliganSusan I had to hunt out old episodes of “The Lou Grant Show” at the Museum of Radio and TV. And even now I would move across country to work for Lou at the Los Angeles Tribune. — PolitiTweet.org

I mourn the death of the greatest City Editor of the 20th Century -- Lou Grant. When I briefly became a DC Bureau Chief, I watched old episodes of the "Lou Grant Show" to learn how to be a gruff, but caring, manager. Farewell to Ed Asner. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZacMcCrary @MichaelBarone I have tried on Twitter in the past (citing clips from political reporters at the time) that Humphrey had the delegates no matter what RFK or McCarthy did. But you can’t fight the Kennedy myths. — PolitiTweet.org

@lefoudubaron @newrepublic From my article: "None of these excuses diminish the Biden team’s complicity in turning the Afghan withdrawal into a reprise of Saigon in 1975."
