Sensitive Newt Tweets from Auschwitz

Disgraced, ethics-free former Speaker Newt Gingrich sent twitters from Auschwitz this morning. Gingrich is at Auschwitz to film a documentary.
He sent the following two messages:
Imagine a judicial nominee said “my experience as a white man makes me better than a latina woman” new racism is no better than old racism – about 1 hour ago from TwitterBerry
White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw – about 1 hour ago from TwitterBerry
I sure am glad Newt can take time from his busy schedule to send out stupid talking points. Republicans, can you see yet how having the “RNC” (Rush, Newt & Cheney) as your public face may not be the best idea?

I cannot believe he is sending tweets from Auschwitz. I guess he doesn’t realize how disrespectful his comments about something totally unrelated to the Holocaust are.

Exactly, MJ. The timeline and proof is outlined in the link.

Newtie is real close to The Hague right now — just sayin’ for any of you international investigator types who want to get started.

The standard GOP apology will follow: I am sorry if anyone took offense to my remarks.

Ooooo…I hate those non-apology apologies.
Yes, it’s all the oversensitivity of us bleeding heart liberals that we could take offense to Newt calling Sotomayor a racist when visiting Auschwitz.

I visited the concentration Camp Mauthousen.saw the gas showers and the ovens…it was overwhelming. I can not imagine Gingrich’s lack of introspection to be able to send messages

What hurts more (yes actually hurts) is that I lost family in the Holocaust and Newtie’s actions are just unforgivable. The remarks are offensive, but it’s where he was when he sent the tweets that’s even more offensive. But he’ll go to confession and say a couple of Hail Mary’s and do it all over again.

MJ: Hey, if that’s good enough for the Pope…

Didn’t Alito say basically the same thing during his confirmation hearing?
Oh wait, Alito’s not white. Sorry.
