Some amusing news for a Monday morning
I'm hardly a big fan of Pope Benny's. He has been far more divisive and intolerant in his relationship to other faiths than JPII. He does, however, earn some props for his continuance of the Vatican's opposition to the Iraq War, and in snubbing the Bush's dinner in his honour.
"I'm sorry, the pope doesn't attend a dinner in his honor?" one reporter asked White House spokesman Scott Stanzel during a briefing last week.
"No," Stanzel replied.
"How does that work?"
"He doesn't come into the building."
Well, glad we cleared that up.
