Clinton, talking separately with reporters on the plane, said the pope had demonstrated support for NATO actions to end genocide in Bosnia and Kosovo.

He said he had met "two great popes" in his lifetime, John Paul II and John XXIII. Clinton said he recognized that John Paul "may have had a mixed legacy," but he called him a man with a great feel for human dignity.

And, Clinton said, noting the throngs the pope would consistently draw, said, "The man knows how to build a crowd."




Ugh. That last comment was certainly crass.

OK, how in the heck could Bill Clinton have met John XXIII? Pope John XXIII never came to the United States. He died in 1963, when Bill Clinton was 17 years old.

No where have I ever read that he ent to Italy when in high school, and how the heck could a Southern Baptist from Arkansas get a papl audience in 1963????

Sigh. I had hoped he had repented, but I somehow think he is making stuff up again.

Ugh is right, Bluebonnet. And I think that ALL of what you mentioned Bubba said is crASS.

And here I just a bit earlier said on the Jimmah (Bucky) thread that at least, in contrast to Bucky, Bulbous Bubba knows when to keep his lip-bitten yap shut.

CrASS.

Ugh. That last comment was certainly crass."

I completely agree, but I hope it doesn't surprise you.

what a jerk of Clinton to say JPII had a "mixed legacy"...
