I’d like to see the wine and beverage list.

About 250 guests were to attend the dinner. Benedict will not be there because he will be attending an evening prayer service with U.S. bishops.

Wouldn't it make more sense to sync up the guest of honor's schedule with the dinner in his name?

[A_Former_Democrat]

And why should the Democrats be there? They all look the other way from the anti-Catholic/anti-Christian/anti-faith elements in this society.

Deny them the photo-op. Good.

"Why wasn't I asked?"

[Always Right]

From the Supreme Court, the guests are Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

Baby-killers need not apply, although Kennedy is a bit weak on the issue.

How can any of those folks eat knowing that Nancy Pelosi is in the building? I would puke.

[End Times Sentinel]

But Democratic rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, who had a nationally broadcast debate scheduled Wednesday night, were not invited.

Geez, they already had Nancy Pelosi, how much suffering do they suppose we inflict on The Pontiff?

[Paleo Conservative]

Why should either Obama or Hillary be invited? Neither of them is Catholic.

And the joke is the pope will not be there.... another case of good pre planning by this administration
