@BeschlossDC Part of your daily TV diet growing up as a baby boomer in Philadelphia watching the Sally Starr show. Still hilarious and such a palate cleanser for your brain.

@FrankLuntz You've always been a fatuous prostitute with bad takes.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@jeremymbarr As someone who's edited and written scads of ratings stories, I've thought the same thing -- only when they really have something to brag about, of course.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@JanCBS @TheFP @washingtonpost This longtime middle-of-the-road journalist sees with a jeweler's eye that The Free Press tacks quite right. But thanks for coming out as what you really are.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@DPD_ Excellent, spot-on TV column. And I've edited hundreds of TV columns, as well as writing a few.

@KevinNegandhi Is it cruel to bring up Hoffman's 40.50 ERA for the Phillies last postseason?

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@KevinNegandhi Here's an old journalist's question: What do people remember best? That might be the foremost criterion. Also, it would likely be a regional perception.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@jaysonst You kind of refuted your own working thesis. As your editor I would have had a discussion with you before going to press.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@JammieWF @TheDailyShow Geez, this looks like the tip of the iceberg from someone's pedophile file of memes.

@marcmaron @HBO @StreamOnMax I enjoyed last night's preview and Q&A with Jim Gaffigan at 92Y. As someone who interviewed many comedians for @AP and regularly attended Ding Ho at Cambridge's Inman Square in the early '80s, I particularly liked specific discussion of the stand-up craft.

So did @jimmykimmel or @jaketapper chicken out tonight?

@kylenabecker Let me ask a Murdoch minion like you about capitalism. What's the problem with paying a company for its product or service?

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

So is Melania's outfit an ode to Zorro, Boris Badenov, Al Capone (to whom her husband often compares himself)? Someone else? Surely NOT the Hamburgler!

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@NateSilver538 Your slimy, whoring deceptions may have a "margin of error" but are unpardonable at this point.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@PamelaChelin Congratulations

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@BeschlossDC So i'm guessing he wouldn't be offended by further questioning or comments about his mother being a long-time junkie.

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@BillAckman @60Minutes Did you say this while looking at the mirror?

[Douglas J. Rowe @DouglasJRowe]

@BillAckman @JDVance @WALZ The weaselly, chameleonlike unctuousness?
