Did SOTH Boehner just tell the Pope "good luck."? Seems like an odd thing to tell a Pope.

I wish him luck, too. Our Congress is a joke.

My favorite story from yesterday with Yogi dying and the Pope being here:

Reporter: "I understand you had an audience with the Pope."
Yogi: "No, but I saw him."
Reporter: "Did you get to talk to him?"
Yogi: "I sure did. We had a nice little chat."
Reporter: "What did he say?"
Yogi: "You know, he must read the papers a lot, because he said, 'Hello, Yogi.'"
Reporter: "And what did you say?"
Yogi: "I said, 'Hello, Pope.'"

He named four people (presumably Americans) in his talk. Could anyone make out the names?

Would have been better to do this in Spanish and had a translator. Easier for everyone.

No idea, but it's the first time it's ever happened.

They should tell the Pope to GTFO. He holds no special office to most in this country. Had the Catholic Church not been on the level with the current Muslim extremists, maybe we wouldn't have fled Europe.

It's cute how the media and politicians bash religion until a communist pig comes to town as the leader of the catholic church. Disgusting how people grovel and worship a human being that shits in toilets just like the rest of us.

Huh?

By your logic "conservatives" would be hypocrites too because they're the ones whining now.

Since the Vatican is its own nation, isn't the Pope also considered a head of state? Seems those have addressed Congress from time to time.
