"Uh oh... Benedict, he must be a muslim, too!"
"No, ma'am. No... He's not... Now, give me back the microphone, Sarah."
Does send a message to those bishops, who were saying one couldn't vote for him. Wasn't the Vatican the first foreign entity to congratulate him, as well?
Jeff,
"No, mam, he's not an Arab. He's a good person."
Garpu,
Does make you wonder, doesn't it? I wonder if Bishop Finn called up Obama to congratulate him.
