(Politico) — A regular correspondent wondered why Newt Gingrich’s recent declaration on the planned downtown mosque sounded so familiar, and found this:
Gingrich:
There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.
Mussolini:
There will be a mosque in Rome, the Fascist ruler said, only when a Roman Catholic church is permitted in Mecca.

Obviously, Mussolini had at least one good point.

Oh, well that’s conclusive, then.
What a load of bollocks.
politico is so damn clever. /s
Looks like politico hates Newt too, just like it hates Sarah Palin.
Might file *this* in memory bank.
might there be kneecapping involved?
Oh yes, definitely, but only to the ‘possessed.’
Never mind the bollocks.
Do we need a young priest and an old priest?
Mussolini loved spicy meatballs. . .I do too!
Good article. But two things:
!. This belongs under bloggers (Weazel Zappers didn’t create this; the blogger just pastes info from Politico).
2. Why the excerpt? What is so special about this blog that they blogger (is it you?) can’t simply share instead of tease it’s re-reporting of others’ news?
Um, never mind, I guess. I just looked at your posting history. You are always “1 of x.” You never, ever, ever, ever, ever reply. Just post and run. I’ll send you a PM.
Wonder if Mussolini supports Global Warming, too....
Libs may not want to go after Newt too much...they need him for the Pelosi photo op
Obama and Mussolini make a far more comprehensive and accurate comparison.

Hmmm. Likely an Archbishop or maybe even a Cardinal.
Mussolini was a socialist. i dont know Newt but i suspect he isnt a socialist..
Mussolini wanted trains to run on time. So do I. (Hey, I was a NYC subway commuter, so that was wishful thinking!).
Then I guess I’m a Fascist./
God save the Queen!
