A priest being interviewed by O’Reilly last night made an interesting observation. He said that in these types of pope-celebrity meetings, typically there are tons of photos taken, but he could find none of this meeting. He thinks Pope nixed photos because he didn’t want to play in to Pelosi’s obvious photo-op reason for being there.
Also, Dennis Miller said that maybe the Pope didn’t know it was Pelosi, but thought he was seeing the Shroud of Turin instead. :)
Dennis Miller may have a point!
Actually, photos were specifically prohibited by the Vatican, precisely for the reasons that you stated. Bet Nancy was furious over that one!
Sorry I missed the program. Do you recall the priest’s name?
Dennis Miller said that? hardihar. I think the Pope said, “No pix.” And I bet it was because he knew she would use the pix for her own agenda. Good for him.
