For those of you following me on Twitter, you already know that I was at a very neocon seder tonight at Bill Kristol’s house. (or “tweder” as a twittered seder is apparently now called) For those of you hip to the Twitter, you can see all the tweets at my Twitter home page, or over to the right on my blog. For those of you old-schoolers who still rely on blogs, here’s a quick look at my tweets from last night:

• # Heading to the Kristol’s for seder tonight. Irving’s a bit long winded, but Bill’s wife a great cook. Couldn’t turn it down.

  # Is it rude to Tweet from a seder? Just heading to Kristol’s house now. I see Scheunemann’s car. Could be awkward since election.

  # Wolfowitz just walked in. Still revered in our circles. He’s much more relaxed since “leaving” World Bank.

  # Richard Perle brought a kosher-for-Passover wine from California. Big debate if that really counts as kosher.

  # One of Doug Feith’s kids wants to do the 4 questions. We joke that “why on this night couldn’t we find WMDs?” should be a fifth.

  # Irving Kristol compares Jews in Egypt to modern times. “Next year in…Tehran!” He’s still got matzah balls of steel.

  # Wolfie’s shikse girlfriend faux pas #1, re: Mrs. Kristol’s famous brisket: “I love the Texas BBQ beef!”

  # Afikomen: We all tell the kids that we know it’s there somewhere; they’re just not looking hard enough. They demand UN inspectors.

  # Neocon seder update: We just opened door for Elijah. OMG, it’s Joe Lieberman at the door! Making the rounds. L’chaim!

  # Solved Passover mystery. Irving Kristol was lobbyist for Maxwell House in the 60s. Got them Hagadah naming rights for 70yrs.

  # Kids still couldn’t find the afikomen. Bill K. told them they just didn’t look hard enough. three kids cried, and one pee’d.

  # Mrs. Kristol wants all hands on deck in kitchen. I’d rather play Wii with Feith’s kids. Wolfie & the shikse left early.

  # For the record, Bill finally told me that there WAS no Afikomen; he thought his dad had hid it, and Irving thought Bill had. Oops.

  # Tomorrow night: A very CNN second night seder at the Blitzers!
