Bush Catholic?

Might make sense - If You're George Bush

Boy did I miss this one! I must have been ruminating on something pretty hard not to see the rumors coming. I reported that George Bush was dumb enough to call the Pope "Your Eminence." I probably assumed no one that stupid would convert to Catholicism.

(From The Drudge Retort)

President George Bush was given such a splendid welcome by Pope Benedict XVI yesterday that rumors started flying that the President, like Tony Blair before him, was on the verge of converting to Catholicism, according to The Independent. It was a Vatican visit such as no other head of state has ever enjoyed.

Of course, if Bush is as power-hungry AND as stupid as people think, he might become Catholic to see if he can become pope. An obscure ecclesiastical rule that has never been erased: one does not necessarily have to be a priest to become Pope. There is the problem, however, of Laura Bush: if he tries to annul their marriage, then the twins would be technically illegitimate.

Bush's brother, Jeb, converted to Catholicism several years ago. Has it changed him? Who knows. He's off the political radar screen these days.

Thank God.




Of course,
George might be possessed in which case he'd have to undergo an exorcism!
