My Trump addiction

By Richard Cohen
Aug 10, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: I awake to brilliant sunshine. It is a glorious day here on the Left Bank. Oui, oui, so Parisian, but all that must wait. I fire up my laptop. I wonder, what has Trump been up to?
Trump dishonors the ultimate sacrifice

Aug 2, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: Even after Trump's belittlement of John McCain's heroism, even after he mocked a physically challenged New York Times reporter, he still has the capacity to shock.
If Hillary Clinton were a man

By Richard Cohen
Jul 26, 2016 11:17 AM - 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? Her raised voice would be lower. She would be better at physically commanding the stage. Her indomitability might be seen as manly. If she were taller and bigger, might she have been able to get away with saying nothing about her email server -- as Donald Trump has with his tax returns? As they say, I'm just askin'. I am asking because the dislike of Hillary Clinton is so palpable that it has become akin to a prejudice. I understand the criticisms and don't reject them out of hand. She has been slippery. She has fibbed. She's used a private email server, which was wrong and careless. She has been the marital partner of a man who has taken other partners. She did not leave him, as many women wanted her to do. To them, she became the personification of the female doormat.
Pining for Obama

Jul 20, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: Calvin Trillin, the Mark Twain of our times, once wrote that sooner or later in a new administration, he starts to miss the preceding one. I know precisely how he feels. I already miss the Obama administration.
Clinton survives another Salem trial

Jul 14, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: Something about the Clintons sets the GOP to howling at the moon.
Butterfly wings that didn't flutter

Jul 2, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: The butterfly I have in mind is the one that illustrates chaos theory: It flutters its diaphanous wings, stirring the slightest breeze, which connects with others until, thousands of miles away, it forms the essential ingredient for a hurricane. Can we call this butterfly Brexit?
A contrast in heroes

By Richard Cohen
Jun 21, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: My heroes are not necessarily people of great ability but ones who did what I think I could not. Two contemporary men fall into that category. The first is the late Muhammad Ali, maybe the greatest fighter of all time, and the second is John McCain. Now, from the grave, Ali reprimands McCain.
The absurd availability of assault weapons

By Richard Cohen
Jun 14, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist 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.
Ryan is no profile in courage

By Richard Cohen
Jun 8, 2016 1:00 AM - Columnist Richard Cohen: Just as Ryan wrote that he would vote for Donald Trump so as to secure the Republican Party agenda, so did Taft put the matter the other way around: First comes principles, then comes the agenda.
