Or that he'll be out of the country and less available for Sunday political chatter?<br /><br />And if someone sprays Newt with holy water, will he melt?

Unless you were doing it for satiric reasons, the Pope's name is Francis I, after one of the original Jesuits, Francis Xavier, not Frances.<br /><br />I grant you it would be something if he refused her credentials on account of her being married to a divorced person, officially still a no-no within the Catholic Church, unless said divorced person had additionally received an annulment of said marriage from the church. Of course, that only applies if the marriage took place in the Catholic Church, so Newt may be in the clear that way. I've never really cared enough about the particulars of the nuptials of this "lying, blaspheming, racist, narcissistic, idolatrous, adulterous, twice-divorced ass" to discover if either took place within, and, hence, was sanctioned by, the Catholic Church.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310103807742995629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-62258674726617241742017-05-14T20:27:53.123-05:002017-05-14T20:27:53.123-05:00Oh, and about the Royal Baby making this irony-sha...Oh, and about the Royal Baby making this irony-shattering appointment?<br /><br />Here is a Dutch TV program (don't, worry, it’s in English) laying out how he is SO MUCH dirtier than even you thought and just how dirty the money involved is (Russian mafia?).<br />Wow! Just WOW!<br />Of course, the big question is why this stuff isn’t being reported in the US (cough, cough).<br /><br />https://zembla.vara.nl/dossier/uitzending/the-dubious-friends-of-donald-trump-the-russians<br /><br />My favorite part is the intelligence guy whose curiosity was piqued early on by why Trump kept saying such nice things about Putin and the Russians and then he realized, “If you’re a gambling addict and you owe a lot of money, you don’t badmouth your bookie."<br /><br />Be sure and watch the 2nd part, "King of Diamonds”, for even more international kleptocrat weirdness involving Chinese, Africans, North Korea, Israelis, and, of course, the Russians and Trump. I assume at this point John le Carré is just going to hang it up as farce has overtaken both fiction and reality.<br /><br />By the time this thing runs its course, it’s going to end up making Watergate look like a harmless pie fight.<br />bowtiejackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269786110593961195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-40148733450391863622017-05-14T15:13:28.796-05:002017-05-14T15:13:28.796-05:00I've been quite impressed with this pope, and ...I've been quite impressed with this pope, and am confident he is laughing as hard as I am.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342911380840320087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-33972634370751485262017-05-14T13:49:57.592-05:002017-05-14T13:49:57.592-05:00Callista's hairdo is no longer perfectly spher...
