Gingrich says no mosques near Ground Zero until Saudi Arabia has some churches and synagogues

Um, when did Saudi Arabia come into this? And how does Muslims trying to build a mosque in America have anything to do with the ridiculous lack of any freedom in Saudi Arabia? So Gingrich is now going to interpret the Constitution, and America's overall freedoms, based on the lowest common denominator of "what would Saudi jesus do?" They don't let women drive over there either, so should we yank Muslim-Americans' drivers' licenses, Newt? That'll show em.

He really is a bright man, but sometimes he really panders to the stupid when he's desperate for attention. More from Richard Cohen at the Post. (I swear I wrote that part about yanking driver's licenses before reading Cohen's piece.)
