Cooking Sunday brunch w. SW (Smarter Wife)& listening to Harry Belafonte sing the beautiful 1949 song " Scarlett Ribbons"-'a C'mas song about the power of prayer. It moved me, as always. — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveTrezise @chriscostantini That's moonshine foes of JFK spread since his 1958 reelection to Senate. That yr, handwritten drafts he wrote for "Profiles" while recovering from surgery were displayed in window of his Boston hq. "Profiles" is a timeless tome & I was especially moved by chapter on Robt. Taft. — PolitiTweet.org

@heyderuzguys I read "Golden Gun" and vividly recall "Pistols" Scaramenga. Thanks for setting me straight on when Bond read "Profiles in Courage." — PolitiTweet.org

@thesum To quote British politician Enoch Powell, who left the Conservative Party in 1973 to oppose UK's entry into Common Market (now EU), and was branded a Judas: "Judas did what he did for a price. I do what I do at a sacrifice." Van Drew could have coasted to re-election but won't. — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

James Bond, in either the "Dr No" or "From Russia With Love" books, picks up "Profiles in Courage" & turns to the chapter on Edmund H. Ross (Ian Fleming knew JFK was a huge fan of his novels). — PolitiTweet.org

@johnston_kelly I have the same problem--bewildering readers when words pop up from nowhere. I'm glad it happens to others. old boy. — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

@johnston_kelly And, with respect, my friend, I'd say Charlie Sandman would be pretty welcome in the party today. Jersey conservatives trace their early emergence to him as much as to Goldwater and Reagan. — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

@johnston_kelly With respect, my old friend, read my article on Van Drew in Newsmax , coming up in 15 minutes, and you'll see how he is being welcomed to GOP. More to follow. And remember what a hard time Republicans in his district had finding an opponent to Van Drew last year. — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

@johnston_kelly Except one thing: Specter was unwelcome in Demo primary and lost. Van Drew, who voted like his GOP predecessor Frank Lo Biondo, will be welcomed by Republican. He represents Cape May, GOP bailiwick & home of another impeachment "player"--the late Rep. Chas.Sandman, R.-NJ. — PolitiTweet.org

@chriscostantini You obviously haven't read "Profiles in Courage" — PolitiTweet.org

Learned, w. great sadness, my friend, former State Sen. H.L. (Bill) Richardson of California, a principled conservative, author, hunter, and fellow lover of history, died. My C'mas card was returned marked "deceased," Does anyone know when he died? — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

In fact, I see Van Drew as Edmund G. Ross, the Kansas senator whose one vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment in 1868 and who paid dearly for voting his conscience. (He actually didn't like Johnson but disliked the idea of removing him for office more). — PolitiTweet.org

If the reports are true, Rep. Jeff Van Drew, D-NJ (for now), deserves a chapter in "Profiles in Courage." — PolitiTweet.org

Am captivated by Julian Jackson's "DeGaulle." Did not realize that in 1940, U.S. recognized & supported Vichy regime & had little use for DeGaulle's exile Gov't, w. Sec of State Hull disparagingly referring to the "so-called Free French." — PolitiTweet.org

Between Brexit & budget, sources close to the Conservstive Party tell me @BorisJohnson will get Fixed Term Act that kept him from calling an election sooner repealed. @David_Cameron made a terrible mistake putting that in to keep @NickCleggg in Gov't. — PolitiTweet.org
