Newt Gingrich awkwardly poses for smiley tourist photo in worst possible place.

...

This is from his website.

That's a picture you take in front of the White House or Statue of Liberty.  Speaks volumes, IMO.

I'm sure Jews take photos in front of it.

And Neo-Nazis.

I don't think anyone is saying this indicates Gingrich being supportive of the Holocaust. It just indicates that he's a bit weird.

I mean, the picture is hilarious.

[TheGlobalizer]

It's not the location, it's the fancy dress and facial expressions.

"We're having a blast - Auschwitz is so fun!  See you soon, kisses!! xoxox, Calista and Newt."

Not funny.  My grandfather died in Auschwitz.

He fell out of a guard tower.

Exactly.

I can't begin to comprehend this, and I know a disproportionate number of Jewish people.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

This is not funny anne frankly I am offended.

Sorry I had to do it.

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

This is not funny anne frankly I am offended.

ChairmanSanchez,

off topic: wouldn't happen to know what neighborhood the pic of Ron Paul in your sig was taken in, do you?  look a lot like the neighborhood I grew up in - before it went downhill

Probably the same one he still lives in...then again, he is selling his house.

This is not funny anne frankly I am offended.

Highlight the white text.  It's a joke.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

By the way, which one of you actually visited Auschwitz site?

Sadly, there are people vitising Auschwitz, a really sad, sad place, who are acting far worse than Newt, totally innocent on this picture by comparision.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

This isn't political, it's a stupid place to take a photo like that, regardless of who it is.

By the way, which one of you actually visited Auschwitz site?

I have, because I actually had a couple of relatives that were killed there.

There are photos of me at Gettysburg, and I have relatives that died in the Civil War.

A strange photo, I'll agree, but not inappropriate.  I'm happy he visited.

Why does New Gingrich visiting Auschwitz with his mistress that is younger than his daughter make you happy?

That is a bizarre statement.

[argentarius]

Give him a break.

[memphis]

In extremely poor taste, but whatever. The Holocaust is long since over and taking or not taking photos can't change anything about it. I know it's too much to ask of the general public, but can we please move beyond personality into issues. I'm more concerned about Gingrich's plans to cause destruction and death in the 21st Century.

[Mechaman]

Come on guys, holocaust jokes are just GAStly...aha! jew did nazi that coming! Am I reich?

oh god i'm going to hell

Gettysburg≠Auschwitz

That comment ranks up there with your Herman Cain remark...

Of course, when someone at the time said black people were "troublemakers" or "inferior," people could point to Cain as the counterexample.

For the record Morgan is officially my hero (actually, he's been that for about two years now but I thought I would just make it clear now in case there was any confusion).

Also,

Why am I not surprised?
