EUGENE ROBINSON
Eugene Robinson is an Associate Editor and columnist for The Washington Post. He uses his twice-weekly column to pick American society apart and then put it back together again in unexpected, and revelatory, new ways.

  • Can you believe it?

    DENVER _ "I cried on Monday when Michelle spoke," Rep. John Lewis told me Wednesday at the Pepsi Center, "and I know that on Thursday night at the stadium I'll cry again."

  • Democrats worry too much

    DENVER — If they want to win in November, Democrats have one task to accomplish this week: Snap out of it.

  • Effort to slime Obama

    Here come the goons, right on schedule.

  • Even Edwards' confession is slippery

    There is some sincerity and some snake oil in every politician, but John Edwards exudes both in almost freakish measure.

  • Clouds over Beijing Olympics

    Bring on the Olympics. Please.

  • Putting words in Obama's mouth

    I'm confident that Sen. Lindsey Graham and the rest of John McCain's front-line surrogates know full well what messages they're sending about Barack Obama and race. On the off chance that they — or, more likely, some of the white voters they're trying to reach — don't know text from subtext from context, here's a deconstruction.

  • McCain stooping low to attack Obama

    It's awfully early for John McCain to be running such a desperate, ugly campaign against Barack Obama. But I guess it's useful for Democrats to get a reminder that the Republican Party plays presidential politics by the same moral code that guided the bad-boy Oakland Raiders in their heyday: ”Just win, baby.“

  • Bush's shameful legacy: torture

    I still find it hard to believe that President Bush, to his eternal shame and our nation's great discredit, made torture a matter of hair-splitting, legalistic debate at the highest levels of the U.S. government. But that's precisely what he did.

  • Bush isn't finished yet

    George W. Bush's presidency seems exhausted and irrelevant, but that's a dangerous illusion. The Decider remains in command of the world's most advanced and powerful military force, and he has just a few months to tie up what he might consider loose ends — a thought sobering enough to send Amy Winehouse to rehab.
