" ... another bonehead move from the WH political team - what did they expect would come from this meeting with the Pope today? every radio and TV station I tuned into had the story of the Pope trash talking Bush over Iraq."
Do you think the Pope has any real credibility? What's worse? A few military men/women and abuse of adult prisoners or a few hundred priests sexually molesting little boys?
I am not arguing those facts. I am just talking about the spin - it gives the media a chance to lead with the "Pope scolds Bush" story.
