More quotes by Gene Weingarten
One thing I am learning from the kitten is that everything he is doing seems to be in preparation for murder.
Gene Weingarten
Peggy Noonan is not as good a columnist as my colleague Kathleen Parker, in my opinion, but they share something related to their Pulitzers. Kathleen won in in 2010. They won it for a similar reason. They broke from their crowd, and sprinted away. They delivered the politically unexpected take, at some peril to their readership.

I was possessing heroin in fairly large quantities in New York City during the years of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws. Had I been busted, I would have faced mandatory life in prison. I don't think many white kids walked, either. I knew one who got 15 years for pot.

Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin, and the most nationalistic / patriotic country in the last 300 years was Germany during the Third Reich.
Gene Weingarten
America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.
Gene Weingarten
Johnny Hart became much less funny after he found sobriety, and religion, around the same time.
Gene Weingarten
I don't think I could ever love someone with whom I fundamentally disagreed, politically.
Gene Weingarten
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.

Donald Trump is an awful loser.
Gene Weingarten
Hillary Clinton rubs people the wrong way, for valid reasons.
Gene Weingarten
You should support Israel not because it is Jewish but because it is a sane, secular democracy. You want Lebanon to be at peace. You don't care much about Kuwait.
Gene Weingarten
I feel like no matter what happens in my career endeavors after today, going to grad school is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Gene Weingarten
My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.
Gene Weingarten
Knowing the identity of the leaker helps you analyze the likelihood that the material is real.
Gene Weingarten
The horrifying thing is that nearly half of America seems in synch with xenophobia and race-baiting.
Gene Weingarten
I need an irony punctuation mark for the clueless.
Gene Weingarten
I very much believe in the Intentional Fallacy. If Donald Trump lies and dopes and bumbles and staggers his way into peace in the middle east, he gets credit for it. He owns it.
Gene Weingarten
I think politics is everything.
Gene Weingarten
It doesn't entirely make sense that if 51 senators are from one party, and they can stick together, they can do whatever they want. Especially in this age of blatant, shameless gerrymandering.
Gene Weingarten
The total wall is between editorial and newsroom. And unbreachable barrier. For good reason. It doesn't mean the two sides don't talk.
