International politics is not my strong suit. The older I get the less certain I am that I even HAVE a strong suit.

More quotes by Gene Weingarten
Being Jewish is way stronger culturally than it is religiously.
Gene Weingarten
I think we too often go soft in trying to spare people the agony of confronting reality.
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
Most men I know adore women, and I am including gay men. I think studies on jury selection show that the biggest critics of women - people less likely to trust their character or judgment - are women.
Gene Weingarten
Knowing the identity of the leaker helps you analyze the likelihood that the material is real.
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 one thing an aspiring writer must understand is that it's hard. If you think it's not hard, you're not doing it right.
Gene Weingarten
It is hard to quantify the value of name recognition, but Donald Trump has gone from fame to international mega-fame. That has to be gargantuan when your business is your name.
Gene Weingarten
I need an irony punctuation mark for the clueless.
Gene Weingarten
My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.
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
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
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
Donald Trump is an awful loser.
Gene Weingarten
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
Hillary Clinton rubs people the wrong way, for valid reasons.
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
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
Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.
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.
