Elie Wiesel is a winner for shoah!

Nobel Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel was a guest on Fox & Friends last week. Ooops! However, I guess you could say that having survived the death camps, he "won" in some sense. Mediaite has the video. (via @dailygrail, thanks Rob B for the headline)

  Great title, thanks for not making any survivor TV show jokes.

• [blurgh]

  Reminds me of “La vita è bella”.

• [Jack]

  All other Holocaust survivors just need to settle for “personal best.”

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    Looks like the other finalist is still stuck in the sand trap.

      I’m picturing an angry Ted Knight breaking a golf club and screaming “NEVER AGAIN!”

  • [MachineElf]

    Thank you sir. You made me laugh, out loud.

• [MrBawn]

  Maybe he won the tank, like in Life is Beautiful.

• [Ted8305]

  Congraturation, you win 1000 holocausts!

• [ill lich]

  Maybe they meant “whiner”; I could totally see the goons at Fox saying “are you going on and on about the so-called Holocaust again? Give me a break!”

• [mdh]

  As accidental as the “D” Fox regularly puts after the names of Republicans who have been convicted of a crime or voted against partly lines.

  Puerile nonsense.

• [Anonymous]

  I hear he’s also a Nobel Prize survivor

  Gawker user Adamsank had some interesting thoughts on how this could have happened:

  Makes a strong case.

• [DaughterNumberThree]

  Adamsank is clearly correct. The part of the tape I thought was more interesting was warrior-on-Christmas Gretchen Carlson being forced to admit that there are holidays other than Christmas this time of year.

• [AirPillo]

  You mean there was a Wiesel on Fox & Friends and it wasn’t the host?

  Survive death camps, live to see great grandkids, sounds like a win to me.
