There's respect. Keep the freaking Pope waiting!

President Bush (news - web sites) arrived 15 minutes late for his meeting with Pope John Paul (news - web sites) II — unusual for a president who makes no secret of his impatience when others keep him waiting.

It was a rare breach of protocol in Vatican (news - web sites) City, too, and raised eyebrows in the papal delegation.

Protesters in the city were yelling "George Bush, terrorist," yet the president was insulated from the anti-war demonstrations, tucked safely away in plush digs behind high stone walls and razor wire.

6. Perhaps the Pope should have refused to see him

Being late was Bush's power play. He's shameless and disgusting and an embarassment to America, imo.

[Killarney]

8. Power play -- that's what I thought, too

It's Shrub punishing the Pope for speaking out against the war.

You don't just show up late for the Pope. This was done on purpose as a form of disrespect in retribution.

12. The pope is a cult leader...

...according to my friends fundy mother. And apparently this is a commonly held fundy belief. Catholicism is a cult ('cuz they have candles, incense, have strict rituals, etc) in their eyes, so why would Dumbya show respect to a cult leader?

I mean the pope could go at any minute now, and Bush keeps him waiting? Every second is valuable to someone who's clock is ticking.

16. bush didn't diss chalabi at Thanksgiving plastic turkey...

ceremony. I love it. Bush claims he did not meet with chalabi but he met with chalabi during this plastic turkey fiasco.

I did not have sex with that man amadh chalabi! I did have sex with a plastic turkey.

14. Pople should have refused his trojan gift....

better yet, Pope should have hit bush acroos his stupid face with his stupid medal.

Well, georgie the tojan now thinks he's won the Catholic vote..Catholic vote of which nation? Italy? USA?

[robbedvoter]

15. Wasn't italy on Hitler's side most of WWII? (and has a fascist now)

Someone splain this to me:

"Two days before commemorating the 40th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy, Bush quietly paid tribute to Italian victims of World War II. "

17. The Pope and Bush

The Pope and Bush met for a joint, public address to the world. I could hardly understand a word he said. I had trouble understanding the Pope,too.
