Speaking of difficulty of these morons to cover the conclave, have you read anything about how certain journalists wanted to have access to the ballots cast by the cardinals? Can't remember where I did.

Talk about taking recount to a higher level...can just see a cardinal eating chads!!!

The press will not rest until they can create a scandal concerning the Conclave. That is what they are up to. They have been hinting that Ratzinger had Nazi ties, that the Argenine cardinal had ties to the dictatorship, etc. etc.

Whoever is chosen, the press will go after him in droves, because they saw how beloved Pope John Paul was.

"We can't have THAT, you know! The Pope cannot be loved! The Pope must be a villain, because he doesn't agree with US on liberalizing the Church!"

I guesst that would be kind of hard considering they burn them after each ballot. LOL. =)
