Valencia, Spain, Jul 8 (EFE).- Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Pope Benedict XVI, who has been critical of some of the Socialist premier's policies, held a meeting Saturday in this eastern city that a government spokesman described
as "extraordinarily cordial." The pope met for a half hour with Zapatero, who was the target of whistles and boos by a few spectators when he arrived at Valencia's archbishop's palace Saturday evening for the gathering.

He could have made a fortune. People would have paid good money to tomato that jerk...
Reportedly Zapatero said, "I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition."

Not bad....only took 8 minutes.
LOL!!! Catholic FR Dittos to you. V's wife.
Zapatero...elected by Al Qaeda....and cowardly Spaniards.
My apologies, in favor OF traditional marriage...
Why does an archbishop have a palace? Just wondering.
Bet you didn't hear about it at all in our media, did you?
I certainly didn't until just now. This happened when?
To get to the other side!
Oooops sorry. Wrong punchline.

Well, I hope Zapatero at least felt a little bad for a few seconds. No, probably not. This man is shameless...
He's lucky he didn't spontaneously combust when he touched the hand of the Pope...
I'll respond with a definition penned by H.L. Mencken:
"Archbishop- A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ."
Right before Zapatero and his socialists did away with traditional marriage and brought gay marriage to Spain. At some point in 2005.

Here's a link detailing a bit about the event and the media's complete disregard for its existence. Looks like the Canadians in particular pretended it never happened.
This happened to Clinton in World Youth Day Denver, 1993. Plenty of people in the city park booed the big jumbotrons showing him when he met with the pope.
That guy looks like gumby. Acts like him too.
