If a 78 year old liberal pope had been elected the leftist media would have fallen all over themselves trying to make it sound like he was going to live to be 110.
Ghouls....

His being 78 years old gets their hopes up.

That didn't take long to put him on media death watch.

It doesn't matter much how long he serves (as long as it's longer than JPI!), it's how he uses the time.
May God grant him wisdom, stamina(!) and vigorous health until his time is due.

In other words, the man hasn't been seriously ill since 1991, but the Left can always hope.

The important thing is that Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and Nelson Mandella are disappointed.

Yeah really!

He's pretty spry for 78. Bush made a good pick IMO.

The Vatican refused to comment Wednesday on Benedict's health, citing his privacy.
Just like x42 and John Kerry.
Pope Benedict XVI is a liberal after all.
lol.
The Leftists/Liberals/MSM are in meltdown over the election of this Pope [teeheeheehee, snicker].

I'd have to assume the voting Cardinals knew what they were doing and what his condition was.

"Ratzinger had told the cardinals, "I too hope in this short reign to be a man of peace."
He probably meant "short" in comparison to JP2's 26+ years.

My German mother lived to 94. ~With all her faculties intact until she died.
She was Bavarian, too!

Interesting that the AP didn't bother to state that the Pope's only brother Georg is also a priest, even though they mention him several times in the article.
Just calling him Georg, instead of Father Georg, seems a bit disrespectful.

And so the death watch commences....
may our Holy Father live in good health to be 120.

I just wish for him, that his health holds out and that his office isn't a worry and a nuisance to him.The most poignant thing in this whole process, to me, is that little room they get dressed in before they come out on the balcony. The Room of Tears.
To: prairiebreeze
Sounds distrubingly similar to RUSH's prediction 5seconds after it was announced.
That is his idea that the media would try to paint him as a "holding pattern" pope, only a temporary stopgap to liberalizing the chruch.
Sounds like he was right... again
