Bush To Pope Benedict: "Thank You, Your Holiness. Awesome Speech"

Pope Benedict XVI became only the second Pope to visit the White House, and he gave a speech about the purpose of his trip and the importance of democracy being informed by moral values. In attendance was, of course, Bush. The President must have been extremely impressed by the Pope's words because right after Pope Benedict concluded his remarks, Bush leaned over and said, "Thank you, your holiness. Awesome speech."

Where's the fellow in white's hood?

And where pray tell is that "Old Rugged Cross"?

[globality]

cool robe dude

[venicesurfer]

im not a fan of bush. but 'awesome' whats wrong with that? is he somehow supposed to kiss his ring?

[springsm]

Well "awesome" is surely presidential and articulate, isn't it? Are we the laughing stock of the world? YUP.

[DumfukistanisRevil]

Have been for 8 years.....­..and if you elect McSlain you soon will be a 3rd world country.

[qdog112]

Great speech, profound or maybe impressive message with his title - but not awesome. Might as well add "dude".

[Delle]

Pelosi DID kiss his ring!

"We need your message to reject this dictatorship of relativism and embrace a culture of justice and truth," Bush said in brief remarks welcoming Benedict to the White House.

Hmmm... the dictatorship of relativism! I wonder if he means "Thou shalt not kill" as applying to everyone but him?

I believe it's a state flag with a partial confederate flag on it, maybe the Georgia or Mississippi flag. Sure does spice up the photo, though. George Bush and the pope both don't care about black people!
I agree with Bush - sure was a sweet speech, Mr. Pope, dude! Where'd you get the killer white threads?

[Nommo]

Vatican Gucci.

[urbanscorpio88]

Possibly the funniest comment on the post. Knowing the Vatican, I won't be surprised if it is Gucci. Only the best for his Holiness. God knows how normal material chaffe on the holy, unlike the unholy masses

[PuddyKatz]

The Pope doesn't care about Black people. Do you know how many Black Catholics there are in the US and worldwide?

[OkieMon]

does the village idiot think this will keep him from going to hell?

[romchr]

What's up with the CONFEDERATE FLAG in the background?

[maxfusion]

This photo was morphed over the image of a confederate flag. There was no confederate flag there. Starting to get it quislings?

[robivecchi]

That's the Mississippi state flag.

[BUMbO]

Mississippi state flag, asshat.

[Cedman]

I was just looking at that. What the heck is going on here?

[NYC07]

I was wondering that too.

[fanoftruthiness]

That should prompt a good impression from Jon Stewart!!

[skeptique]

That's it: 'awesome' must now be stricken from all colloquial lexicons. From now on, I personally will use, 'peachy'.

[MikeMidCity]

These two guys are the hope of the world?

The President who started a war with lies and a Pope who was in the Nazi Youth and insults every other religion on God's green earth?

No wonder Jesus bids us to come out of the world.

[DesertLight]

And to put our faith in HIM and not the government or any president.

[gala1]

Oh, look.

A pair of Flying Nones.

He may speak like a ten-year-old, but at least he ain't one o' them thar elitists.

[megacephalus]

Love the picture imagery:

the little old Nazi Hitler Youth / Waffen SS man[?] in the white dress / the White-supremacy 'Confederate' Flag... and "the Ape"... all the above in good company!

QED

[rsprog]

As a Mississippian :
We are proud of our flag as well as our proliferation of extra chromosomes.

[elihu]

maybe he meant it in the original sense?

[Rog49Thomas]

I'm guessing Klinefelter Syndrome or Trisomy X.

[Rog49Thomas]

Wow, I've never heard anyone tout aneuploidy as a positive trait.

Thank you, sir, clearly this explains a lot about the inhabitants of the Magnolia State.

[greymen]

Extra Chromosomes? Yeah, all inbred from first cousin Mary

[frappe]

I just want to know if the Pope administered an exorcism on Bush, Cheney and their entire administration.

[urbanscorpio88]

No exorcism is strong enough for those criminals

[Roley]

Ah yes. Bush the intellectual. The Pope's speech was "awesome" -- the favorite word of 7th graders across the US.
