America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.

More quotes by 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
I think politics is everything.
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.
Gene Weingarten
The advent of DNA testing, and the number of convictions thrown out, has confirmed that we've put LOTS of innocent people to death. There need not be any other argument against death penalty.

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
The horrifying thing is that nearly half of America seems in synch with xenophobia and race-baiting.
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
I'll smoke anything. I won't spend a lot of money on cigars, because I consider that too self indulgent. $3, max, except for special occasions. And yes, I do know the difference.
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
Being Jewish is way stronger culturally than it is religiously.
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
I believe that the fragile-flower, idea-intolerant society of victimhood that is being cultivated in many colleges today is really bad.
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
Knowing the identity of the leaker helps you analyze the likelihood that the material is real.
Gene Weingarten
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.
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
Rhyme is cool again. It's because of hip-hop. Bless you, hip-hop.
Gene Weingarten
I need an irony punctuation mark for the clueless.
Gene Weingarten
Johnny Hart became much less funny after he found sobriety, and religion, around the same time.
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.
