Hillary Clinton may have lied about her emails, but Donald Trump lies about everything.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Polanski is a great film director - although the much-acclaimed 'Chinatown' has a muddled script - but his true talent is to make fools of his friends.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
As a kid, I was a paperboy, and the walls of the place where we picked up our papers were plastered with pictures of former paperboys - some sports figures, some presidents, some military officers.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Harvey Weinstein does not personify American liberalism any more than Bill O'Reilly personifies American conservatism.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I don't like what George Zimmerman did, and I hate that Trayvon Martin is dead. But I also can understand why Zimmerman was suspicious and why he thought Martin was wearing a uniform we all recognize.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Every rippling muscle is a book not read, a movie not seen, or a conversation not held.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Maybe the best example of the unmuscled hero is Humphrey Bogart in 'Casablanca.' Bogart was 15 years older than Ingrid Bergman, and it did not matter at all. He had the experience, the confidence, the internal strength that can only come with age.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Republicans remain silent because Trump is doing what they want - lowering taxes on the rich, eviscerating regulations, bulldozing the environment, and insisting that a woman's body is not her own.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
How is it possible to defame Trump? When Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called the president a 'moron,' was that defamatory or merely the prosaic truth?
Quote by -Richard Cohen
In my several visits to Germany, I have written in admiration of that country's strenuous efforts to face its past and make amends.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Germany's crimes were recent and of such a scale and depravity that, unless constantly faced, they will come to seem fictitious.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Pence is the very personification of the career politician. With the exception of a few years doing talk radio and television shows, he has done nothing but run for office, winning all but the first two times.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Pence is not a man to look a gift horse in the mouth. He's got his eye on 2020.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
To anyone other than an adamant social conservative, Pence is shockingly unreasonable. But he is also shockingly hypocritical.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Trump critics such as myself have been accused of living in a bubble. On the contrary, it is Trump's supporters in the 1 percent who breathed their own fumes.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
We need a national service that throws us all together, the urban with the rural, the Fox News types with the MSNBC crowd. That way, Americans can get to know Americans and learn - as previous generations did - that we are all Americans.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Let me tell you, seven days without Wolf Blitzer is heaven. A week outside 'The Situation Room' is downright calming. No 'breaking news!' No hype. Blitzer is a first-class journalist, and I mention him only by way of acknowledging his fame.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Evil comes in through the cable and through the Internet. We look forward to the advent of driverless cars. But they can be hacked. You could be riding along, and some 14-year-old in Romania takes over your car, so you end up running the lights and losing your brakes or, worse, listening to Eminem. What's the purpose?
Quote by -Richard Cohen
There was a time when an ordinary American could close the door and keep the world at bay. Now the world comes elbowing in every time you go online.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Fox News has been a force in converting the party of Lincoln into the party of Trump. The network's allegiance to Trump approaches mindless adoration.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
George W. Bush, a charming and utterly gracious man, was a catastrophic twofer. He took the United States to war in Iraq, a wrenching debacle: more than 4,000 Americans dead, nearly 32,000 wounded, and the Middle East destabilized with Iranian influence enhanced.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
When I was a kid, I went door to door in my neighborhood asking for donations to the Jewish National Fund, best known then for its Israel forestation program. At the age of 11 or so, I imagined myself a regular Johnny Appleseed, responsible for vast forests.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
As we see with Sunni and Shiite Muslims, interreligious fights are the most ugly.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
In order to take a nation to war, you have to believe mightily in the threat you are facing and the virtue of your cause.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
If you told me back in my Army days that I could have bought the same weapon that I had been using in training, I would not have believed it.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
What's the justification for a semiautomatic weapon with a magazine of 30 rounds?
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Leaving aside handguns and hunting weapons, what's the justification for possessing an AR-15-style weapon?
Quote by -Richard Cohen
With a sinking feeling, I have come to a horrible conclusion: I am addicted to Donald Trump.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
It has become commonplace to call Trump a reality TV star. That is said as an aspersion, the way Ronald Reagan was called an actor. But Reagan's acting experience, his ability to talk to the camera and not yell to the hall, is what helped make him such a good politician. It is the same with Trump.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
What if Hillary Clinton were a man? What if she were a 68-year-old man rather than a 68-year-old woman? Would we think differently of her?
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I met Clinton during her husband's first campaign for the White House. It was 1992, New Hampshire, and both Clintons had stopped at a coffee shop to greet the folks and get something to eat.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I don't know if history will adjudge Barack Obama a great president, but he has been a necessary one.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Travelgate eventually faded, and the nation somehow survived - American exceptionalism at work again.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Most men, I think, wonder about their courage. How would they act in combat? Under torture?
Quote by -Richard Cohen
As a presidential candidate, Trump seems heaven-sent just to make fools out of Republicans.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Being an American is life-threatening. For various reasons, men and women here don't live as long as men and women in about two dozen other countries, including the ones we defeated in World War II - Japan, Germany and Italy.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Republicans and others who are in anguish over the possibility of socialized medicine ought to have to explain their ideology to a mother with a sick newborn. They ought to have to explain how this nation can debate health care and not mention how abysmal ours is.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
Lots of men have failed as presidents, as Trump surely will, but few fail so dismally as role models. He's a boy's idea of a man. He's a man's idea of a boy.
Quote by -Richard Cohen
I value my education, but I cannot put a value on it. I know it has been worth some money to me - I don't think 'The Post' would have hired me if I had lacked a degree - but I probably could have earned about the same if I had stayed in the insurance business, where I worked while going to college at night.
