Bush in holy gaffe (no news making news)

News 24 ^

[lonestar]

Bush isn’t Catholic, who cares?

I'm not Catholic, I don't care.

[Larry Lucido]

LOL! Just an expression. I have no idea what’s under that robe.

[AprilfromTexas]

“How do you cross your legs “Texan style”? I was born in Texas, but have never heard of such a thing.”

I was wondering the same thing...my family has been in Texas for generations and I’ve never heard of it either

[petercooper]

"Check her out dude, front row, black dress.."

[Tabi Katz]

No doubt the only “gasps” came from the reporters. What else is new?

[Bushman2]

It would have been a gaffe if he had said “how’s the family”? or “Yes Maam”!

NO NEWS HERE

GOOD ONE!

[LantzALot]

I thought the press loved the idea of non-Catholics offending Catholics. They just peed each others' pants with glee when Bill Clinton showed up in the communion queue at a Catholic service.

[God luvs America]

the horror.....if hussien obama ever met the Pope you’d think they’d talk about him voting against the Infant Protection Act and his endorsment of live birth abortions???

Wouldn’t it be cool if the Pope made an announcement now: “ It was so refreshing to meet President Bush. His laid back manners and country bringing up really made me feel comfortable and at home with him.”

[AprilfromTexas]

good to know

Claud, I love your tag line...

[fish hawk]

You want to really hear the media cry? Have bush step down and put Dick Cheney in as President. LOL

[Proud_texan]

Same here. I can only think it’s the way a man crosses his legs vs. the way a lady does. Go figure.

[Ransomed]

The prez has offended my Catholic sensibilities!!! I will never vote for him again—EVAAARR!!!

[vox humana]

Can someone explain to me what this thread has to do with illegal immigration?

Both threads are old news...DEAD!

[basil]

Well-—I was born and bred in TX and I don’t know how to cross my legs “Texas Style”. Must be something the press made up. (And by the way, the president is from Kennebuckport Maine—not Texas!)

[Ole Okie]

My maternal and paternal family are from Dallas. Good Texans are taught to say “Yes Sir” and “Yes Ma’am” to their elders, and that’s what my mother and dad drummed into me.

I think Dubya made precisely the correct greeting.

[Non-Sequitur]

Well, at least the didn’t catch him saying, “Yo, Pope” like they did when he said, “Yo, Blair”.

[aruanan]

US President George W Bush drew gasps at the Vatican on Saturday by referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "sir" instead of the expected "His Holiness", pool reporters said.

A non-Catholic has no more business addressing the Pope as "your Holiness" than an American citizen does bowing or curtseying to foreign royalty.
