@mr_bobnak @saulwizz Looking back, it was different, far slower era of journalism, though for Shirley the 1990s must have seemed super modern and high tech. — PolitiTweet.org

In any case, Shirley was a terrific guy, a legendary writer, a mentor to younger journalists and he had a great sense of humor. Here's a Sports Illustrated profile of him by @saulwizz from the 1990s, which mentions me solely because I sat next to him 7/end https://t.co/BJ6SskQQIB — PolitiTweet.org

As luck would have it, the guy's story floated down just to where he was sitting and he reached out and grabbed it. A look of relief flashed across the writer's face, Shirley said, that is until someone yelled out: "Your lede was so bad, even God rejected it." 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

The paper fluttered high in the air, so high it began sailing out of the stadium, Shirley said, and the writer became distraught. His work was gone and he'd miss deadline. Just then, the wind changed directions and the paper began to sail back the opposite direction. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

In a fit of pique, the guy ripped the piece of paper from the machine and, turning to hand it to the teletype operator to transmit the copy lost his grip just as a gust of wind blew thru the press box. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

As the game was winding down and they were busy on their stories, one of the writers was really struggling with his prose and growing more anguished as deadline approached. Finally, someone urged him to just finish up and send what he had into the newspaper. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

One story that stuck with me was not about the athletes but about his fellow sportswriters. In Shirley's telling, they were covering an important college football game in maybe the 1950s when reporters still wrote on typewriters in open-air press boxes. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

I remember Shirley Povich, legendary WaPo sports columnist, coming into the office in his 90s when I was an intern. He'd be wearing the outfit described here: fedora, tweed jacket, rep tie. He was small but had an iron grip, grasping my shoulder and tell stories of Babe Ruth. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

You know who's jacked up? Maury Povich is jacked up. (He's planning to go to Game 5 dressed as his father.) https://t.co/6w7hlyNfaB

My older daughter was born in 2012 and wore this then-hot-selling jersey that one of my twins, born in 2016, has inherited. Less relevant these days but she chose to wear it today to visit her grandparents. @RGIII https://t.co/R3RFR8RcQj — PolitiTweet.org

On Ukraine investigation, Mulvaney accuses "a group of mostly career bureaucrats of saying, 'I don't like president Trump's politics, so I'm going to participate in this witch hunt.'" Also says: "Get over it. There's going to be political influence in foreign policy." — PolitiTweet.org

@ToluseO @Fahrenthold Mulvaney still hammering Camp David as G7 site. "Why do they have at Camp David? Seriously? They said it was complete disaster." Cites G8 in 2004, but I think he means the 2012 summit https://t.co/Kw0byBjuLC — PolitiTweet.org

@ToluseO @Fahrenthold Reporter asks Mulvaney why Trump has not personally denounced doctored video shown at Doral club showing Potus shooting members of the media. He responds: "Have you asked him? .. We didn't like that. We condemned that." — PolitiTweet.org
David Nakamura @DavidNakamura
@ToluseO @Fahrenthold In addition to touting Doral as the "best place" for the G7 (cites alleged costs savings), Mulvaney disparages Camp David as a "miserable" place for the global summit, citing Obama holding it there in 2012. — PolitiTweet.org
