“P.J. was what every writer hoped we might someday be: The best version of ourselves. Talented and kind. A champion for others. A workhorse. A wit and a gentleman. A writer. A tremendous writer.” https://t.co/T4LhH2W4X6 — PolitiTweet.org

“Oscar Wilde [said] ‘anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend’ but it takes ‘a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success…’ No matter how much success he saw, P.J.’s peers were never jealous…We cheered for him. We admired him.” https://t.co/T4LhH3dGlG — PolitiTweet.org

"O’Rourke announced he was going to vote for Clinton, not Trump...'I thought he was unstable,' he said, and dangerous. 'I still do.' As time went on, he continued in that vein, describing himself as a member of the 'unorganized resistance' against Trump." https://t.co/6fTvXMMHuG — PolitiTweet.org

“‘Although this is a conservative book,’ O’Rourke explained, ‘it is not informed by any very elaborate political theory. I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.’” https://t.co/8iLoXgoAqF — PolitiTweet.org

“The House campaign arm had a stark warning for Democrats: Unless they more forcefully confront the GOP’s ‘alarmingly potent’ culture war attacks, from critical race theory to defunding the police, they risk losing significant ground to Republicans.” https://t.co/TAglRTuq4J — PolitiTweet.org

“Born and bred in Toledo, Ohio, P.J. was a champion of the great American middle. Indeed, his final book, from 2020, was titled ‘A Cry from the Far Middle: Dispatches from a Divided Land.’ He loved this country and reveled in it…” https://t.co/hGLzJ9EzLI — PolitiTweet.org

This would have been the message from Fox News if it had been around in 1963: Martin Luther King deserves to be in a Birmingham Jail. Any politician who cites his letter from jail is soft on crime and pro-criminal. We need to ban that letter from being taught in any classroom. — PolitiTweet.org

P.J. O'Rourke, 1947-2022 I was very lucky to have lively and witty colleagues at The Weekly Standard. But P.J. was special. When he came by the office, the fun and wit went up a notch, sparks were in the air, and we all felt a certain joie de vivre. I cherish the memories. https://t.co/cGZtmWQW2d — PolitiTweet.org

"Our country was founded by the delusional and the crazy, populated by the desperate and the unwilling, motivated by most of the Seven Deadly Sins, and is somehow...the richest and most powerful nation on earth, ever." -- P.J. O'Rourke, 1947-2022 https://t.co/Og31u9w1td — PolitiTweet.org

"Where populism, in the true sense, appears, so do various forms of illiberalism that if allowed to run their course result in strongman politics with its contempt for dispersed power, checks and balances, freedom of the press, and other constraints..." https://t.co/iG1lD3ncIq — PolitiTweet.org

"A tyrant thinks along with fear and death. In the case of Putin and Ukraine, thinking with death has perhaps generated a grand vision; thinking with fear has perhaps reminded a tyrant of the kinship of vision and vulnerability." https://t.co/w5nx4AWaYA — PolitiTweet.org

"As for whether teachers should have to live in a culture of fear where they risk career calamity if they commit the crime of mentioning their family? Shapiro saw no problem. 'I want teachers to feel like they are on thin ice...' The fear is the point." https://t.co/dHyL1dHhtc — PolitiTweet.org
