More quotes by 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
I think there are a good many Donald Trump voters who are sick of government as it is practiced in America and genuinely want to blow up the system and see what happens. They are stupid - or at least unwise - but not necessarily racist.
Gene Weingarten
I personally favor old mechanical watches, but my snobbery does not extend to demanding that all people wear them. My snobbery demands that no one wear a digital.
Gene Weingarten
Knowing the identity of the leaker helps you analyze the likelihood that the material is real.
Gene Weingarten
It is a cliche, and it is also true, that humor springs from existential pain - from a need to blunt the awareness that life is essentially a fatal disease of unpredictable symptoms and unknown duration.
Gene Weingarten
My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.
Gene Weingarten
Hillary Clinton rubs people the wrong way, for valid reasons.
Gene Weingarten
I do not believe in public shaming. I do believe that young adults go to college to learn things, and that this process will almost inevitably result in their making mistakes and misjudgments and otherwise acting badly.
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.
Gene Weingarten
It is not a coincidence that Donald Trump has attracted white supremacists.
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
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.
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.
Gene Weingarten
The Jewish women like Bethany Mandel fare the worst, because they are getting both antisemitic stuff and anti-woman stuff.
Gene Weingarten
Rhyme is cool again. It's because of hip-hop. Bless you, hip-hop.
Gene Weingarten
I don't think I could ever love someone with whom I fundamentally disagreed, politically.
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
I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don't think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.
Gene Weingarten
I think politics is everything.

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.
