  1. Re-tweet the haters. They're 2 dumb 2 know u r mocking em. MT@AndersonCooper I worry it sounds conceited if I only reply to positive tweets.
  2. Thx!RT"@Daniel0061824: I get DCCC fundraising emails all the time, but when I get one from @PaulBegala -- like just now -- I pay attention."
  3. Since some idiot predicts a brokered convention every cycle and it never happens, let me predict one for 2016 and get it out of our system.
  4. Method to the madness? While we r focused on Trump, Romney meeting quietly with Newt Super PAC sugar daddy Adelson. Convenient distraction.
  5. Beginning?? RT“@CNNSitRoom: .@WolfBlitzerCNN to @realdonaldtrump: "You're beginning to sound a little ridiculous." on.cnn.com/M3E82C
  6. What do Joe Ricketts, Curt Schilling & Romney have in common? Customers of the bailout brothel. My column @Newsweek thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/…
  7. Unlike Mitt's $10M bailout.RT@AriFleischer And they did it w/o a gvt bailout. Law firm Dewey & Leboeuf has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  8. Just saw "Battleship." Greg Gadson steals the show. A real-life hero...and who knew he could act? Great job, Greg.
  9. Speaking of pensions, Romney dumped $44 M of GS Steel pension liability on taxpayers. Another Romney bailout.
  10. Romney camp to use firefighters, cops to claim Bain boosted their pensions. But Romney has called public pensions "excessive."
  11. In an interview Gingrich likened Romney to Eisenhower & George Washington. How come nobody reminds Newt of "my neighbor, Fred."?
  12. Ike = After public service bought small farm in Gettysburg; Mitt = After private equity bought 4 mansions; installing elevator for his cars.
  13. Ike = Balanced 3 budgets; Mitt = would add $3 trillion to debt thru cutting taxes for the rich.
