Mexico City, Mexico, Mar 27, 2009 / 04:59 pm (CNA).- During her recent visit to Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unexpected stop at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and left a bouquet of white flowers “on behalf of the American people,” after asking who painted the famous image.

The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously imprinted by Mary on the tilma, or cloak, of St. Juan Diego in 1531. The image has numerous unexplainable phenomena, such as the appearance on Mary’s eyes of those present in the room when the tilma was opened and the image’s lack of decay

Well, she only claimed to be “an amateur theologian”. Nothing more dangerous.

She is stupid especially since she said she had been there before. Never thought she was the smartest woman and now she is proving how clueless she is. That grin drives me up a wall.

These folks are winging it. You would think somebody in the administration would do their homework and have some knowledge of people, places and things they’re dealing with.

Dan Quayle was deliberately targeted and skewered by the press, much as they did and are doing to Sarah Palin.

You don't have to be a Catholic to appreciate the position of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the development of Mexico's history.

I'm surprised an educated lawyer would be this stupid - could it be that she skated by as an EEO affirmative action deal?

Say it isn't so!

To not like or agree with Hillary is one thing, but to give her a hard time over this is unfair. Hillary is the smartest woman in the world and she knew the history and she merely, misspoke.

Also she was under fire (again), but this time from the Drug Cartel wars. But, just like her namesake, Edmund Hillary, Cankles just kept climbing that mountain and refused to buckle in the face of adversity. Rest easy fRiends, our Lady of Guano-loopy is safe, and Secretary-statin’ the hale out of Mejico. :)
