To paraphrase (Robert Bolt’s) “Man for all Seasons,”

Why Douglas. It profits a man nothing to sell his soul for the whole world,

But for Malta?

Kmiec has been a shill for Obama for some time. I know Chris Wallace had him on during Obama’s speech at Notre Dame. Kmiec is of the school that if you just have more wealth redistribution there would be fewer abortions.

But for Malta, Doug?

Given the significance of Malta and the Knights of Malta in the Catholic Church, this is nothing short of a slap in the face. When is O going to the Vatican? I think in the coming weeks?

I think this was Plan B or even Plan C when Kmiec sold out. I think he wanted to be Ambassador to the Vatican and that got shot down.

Malta — less significant than Wales.

Clearly everyone here is well-read!

(I would write 50 times, 'I will read the entire thread before posting', but apparently nobody else did either!)
