I believe that the fragile-flower, idea-intolerant society of victimhood that is being cultivated in many colleges today is really bad.

More quotes by Gene Weingarten
Rhyme is cool again. It's because of hip-hop. Bless you, hip-hop.
Gene Weingarten
I really value unforgettable moments. Things you can tell people about. We have too few of them in our lives, and it is all too seldom that we can create one such moment for a stranger.
Gene Weingarten
America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.
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
Editorials are editorials. They a supposed to have an opinion, even a very strong one.
Gene Weingarten
The Jewish women like Bethany Mandel fare the worst, because they are getting both antisemitic stuff and anti-woman stuff.
Gene Weingarten
The verb Garland should be created. It would mean to unfairly put a stinking albatross around someone's neck, to make him unemployable.

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 don't think I could ever love someone with whom I fundamentally disagreed, politically.
Gene Weingarten
I always love it when a small paper wins. When I was growing up in the Bronx, the editor of the Riverdale Press - a neighborhood rag - kept submitting his columns for a Pulitzer. We laughed and laughed at his ego. He finally won.
Gene Weingarten
The horrifying thing is that nearly half of America seems in synch with xenophobia and race-baiting.
Gene Weingarten
Donald Trump would never belong to a church that required a ten percent hit. He's too smart.
Gene Weingarten
Hillary Clinton rubs people the wrong way, for valid reasons.
Gene Weingarten
Donald Trump is showing the intellectual rigor, and emotional maturity, of a second grader. That's hardly being age-ist. This is a man who, when accused by Hillary Clinton of being a Putin puppet, actually responded: No puppet! No puppet! YOU'RE the puppet.
Gene Weingarten
Ask creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing. From the inside, creativity seems like an arduous task, often involving plebeian, imperfect choices, driven less by inspiration than by deadline.
Gene Weingarten
I think we too often go soft in trying to spare people the agony of confronting reality.
Gene Weingarten
I always thought there was some cleverness to the joke diet in which you could eat as much as you want and as often as you want, but everything must be consumed naked in front of a full-length mirror. That would deter me!
Gene Weingarten
Hillary Clinton was a cute, smart chick in the 1960s.
Gene Weingarten
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.

Donald Trump is an awful loser.
