   I don’t suppose he knelt and kissed his ring, either.

   There’s a metaphor in here somewhere:

   “But when it got to Largo Poli, near the Trevi fountain, Bush’s car ground to a halt. It remained perilously immobile for a minute and half. The President and Laura Bush were hustled into another car. That was denied by a White House official, who said the reasons for the breakdown were ‘unclear’. Just as unclear was how the wide presidential limo could get through the gates of the US embassy. It couldn’t. The presidential couple had to walk in.”

   Captain Ed has some thoughts on this as well. But it sounds like more BDS to me.

   Better to say: you can’t take American journalists anywhere, without revealing their complete silliness to all the world.

   What a silly observation: the President calls the Pope “sir.”

   There was a time when independent minded Americans took pride in the fact that they bent their knee to no man, be he king or pontiff. Today, such a person is considered a clod.

   We could use more clods.

   Not being a catholic, I wouldn’t call the pope “holy” either, nor do I call people “reverend”. My reading of the scripture finds one reference naming God as “holy and reverend”. Those titles are reserved for God only. Those of us on His earth are sinners, saved by His grace, and we are, all of us, neither holy nor reverend. This falls into the “have no other gods before me” category. “Pope worship” is sinful - proceed at your own risk.

   I find it funny that so many men (and women?) have their first names legally changed to “Reverend” for nefarious purposes. Maybe I’ll change mine to “Your Holiness” and see how far that gets me.
