McCain to Meet with Dalai Lama
The Washington Post - The Trail ^ | 2008-07-24 | Robert Barnes

Sen. John McCain will have his own international summit -- of a sort -- tomorrow when he meets with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama is the keynote speaker at a three-day seminar at the Aspen Institute in Colorado that will bring together scholars, teachers and others to explore Tibet's history and culture. McCain already had a speech scheduled in Denver, and will then fly to Aspen for a private meeting with the leader.

The GodKing of Tibet eh. If only he could rule his people as such, instead of those wicked Chinese.

The point being, neither is a good option.

Perhaps meeting the Dali Lama will have a good effect on
McC’s outlook, meditating on compassion is always good.
Besides the lama is a funny guy, tells a good joke.

Who has not met with the Dali Lama. Though this meeting is certainly one of the more mismatched. Since they are quite different personalities.

Please John, when you meet him don’t say: “Hello Dali”.

What a coincidence. America has two bad options too.

Earlier the Dalai Lama refused to acknowledge any link between Islam and terror, but in the same press event, he did criticize Americans as wanting to many material things. He is a just a PC hack.

Perhaps the only guy who could screw up worse in a meeting with Dalai Lama, than McCain, would be Barry Obama.
