Don't you think this will be like a punishment for these people, having to spend hours out in the sun (or rain), surrounded by people who revere the memory of Pope John Paul and Pope John? Why, there will probably be thousands of those awful children there, even ... and John and Katie and all will have to pretend they're not filled with disgust and rage.

I wonder what this crew did to annoy Zero ...

So, he’s sending a delegation of three baby-killers to the Vatican to represent him at the canonization Mass?

Bambi may be under the impression that canonization includes artillery and other weaponry.

On this Katie Beirne Fallon person, from the link you provided to the magazine Vogue;
Returning to the U.S., she worked for two and a half years at the now-vanished Lehman Brothers, an investment-banking job that made her money yet didn’t fit her sense of herself. “I wanted to do something,” she says, “that added value to society.”

So here she is, the (good?) Catholic girl, married in the Roman Catholic church, now "adding value to society" by assisting in 'managing the message' of the DemoRats, which can include organizing rhetorical kneecapping of Republicans they fell threatened by, along with her being one of those who tempted some of the Republicans to "over-reach" in regards to the issue of contraception. Like -- we didn't see that one coming?

Golly-gee willikers, I suppose she really is a prime representative of the Obama Clown posse -- to send to the Vatican ---on a mission.

I much prefer Jake & Elwood.

Hit it.

watch as Jake Sees the (Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ) light and makes that move towards redemption.

They got the band back together

We all know how it ended. The taxes for the orphanage run by (The Penguin) Sister Mary Stigmata were paid, just in the nick of time, and the Blue's Brothers went to jail.

Could we have such a happy ending for Obama & Co. ?

The could do all the tap-dancing they liked (as far as I'm concerned) if they were doing it behind bars where many or most of them belong.

What a great idea.

We need to colonize Mars.

Yes, now that she's been released from job lock.

I’m surprised Pelosi isn’t leading the delegation, after all Obama gave her the rosary that the Pope gave him on his recent trip.

Yes, he is wheeling out the big Anti-Catholic “Catholic” guns to blast away at the sanctity of the ceremony.

Obama doesn’t blast away at the sanctity, Francis does when he allows them to receive the Blessed Sacrament.

I couldn’t care less what Obama does.
