@Politics1com It's looney. I wish my friend Chas. Stenvig, former cop & mayor of Minneapolis from 1969-71, 1973-77, was here to comment on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Loved the grit in Season #1, Episode #33 of "Naked City:" The Sandman"--from the ntclub where gentlemen find ladies w. whom to dance to man at train station counter counting out change. But who was that obviously masculine woman manager of the dance hall? Anyone out there know? — PolitiTweet.org

Watching Season #1, Episode #27, of " Naked City," Robt. Alda, Alan's Dad, was superb as fallen All-American football pro Jess Burton & middleweight great Rocky Graziano was 1st-rate as mob enforcer. Both were heroes to Italian-Americans...just like Frank Rizzo! — PolitiTweet.org

@PhillyMayor Rizzo's was the biggest funeral in Philly since Ben Franklin & was concelebrated by Cardinal Krol & Archbishop Bevilaqcua. A black couple from the neighborhood he protected w. nightstick in tux held a sign "Thank you, Frank." Will you be remembered that way? — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

@justkelly_ok @PhillyMayor Let me help you: on 9/21/78, during debate on charter change, Rizzo said he was sick of its foes urging blacks to "vote black." He said "I'm asking white & blacks who think like me to vote.I say vote white & blacks who think like me--& there's a lot of them--shld vote for Rizzo." — PolitiTweet.org

@tf1_1 @B_Ware76 @PhillyMayor So Wilson Goode, 1st black mayor of Philly, ordered the 1985 bombing of the hq. of the black organization MOVE, resulting 11 deaths (5 of them children).What does that make him? — PolitiTweet.org

@BellaRisttaa @PhillyMayor Lord Acton said "biography shld always be written by an acute enemy." Sal Paolantonio, no friend of Rizzo when covering for the @PhillyInquirer, wrote the definitive bio, rejecting the racism charge & concluding had Rizzo lived in '91, he'd have been elected Mayor w. black votes. — PolitiTweet.org

@B_Ware76 @PhillyMayor He was in no way racist, and so many gave testimony to this--heavyweight champ Joe Frazier, biographer Sal Paolantonio (read his book--& he was a critical reporter), & pollster John McLaughlin, who found Rizzo quite well-liked among black voters in 1991 race. — PolitiTweet.org

@PhillyMayor In case you don't know it, the famous photo of Commnr. Rizzo w. nightstick in hid cummerbund was taken as he arrived to protect a black neighborhood from White thugs. I'm proud to have signed photo of Big Frank in my office. @smerconish — PolitiTweet.org
