Gingrich, Romney and Perry: Gutman has to go

The GOP presidential candidates (sans Ron Paul) will be in Washgton on Wednesday for a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition. And U.S. Ambassador Howard Gutman's pontification on the difference (my words) between Cossacks beating up Jews and Muslims beating up Jews has provided what's sure to be a dependable applause line for the anti-Obama crowd.

Already Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have called for Gutman to be removed from his post.

Not gonna to happen, according to the State Department.

And just to be clear... it's not only Republican presidential candidates s who are voicing outrage. Check out this blog post from Jennifer Rubin for Gary Ackerman's and Joe Lieberman's condemnations.
