Unlike Clinton, who's only interest is himself, Bush remained low-key from the time he arrived in Rome to the time he left. President Bush realized this was a time to dignify and honor JPII in both life and death. Clinton is just a turd in the punch bowl.

No one in the U.S. delegation should have granted any interviews because that's not the reason they're there. The Bushes and Dr. Rice comported themselves in a dignified way that makes all Americans proud. When attending a funeral, the attention should go to the departed.

The classless-ness of the Clintons never cease to amaze me.

Yesterday on the flight over Clinton made a comment that although the Church grew under his leadership, the number of priests declined.

Brit Hume corrected it last night on his show. The worldwide number of priests INCREASED under his leadership.

The Catholic faith exploded under JPII. Starting with 7,00,000 when he become Pope, and today the RCC has 1.1 billion.

"makes me wonder what JPII might have told Clinton in private!"

Oh boy, to be a fly on the wall when these two had a private conversation!

Just when I thought I couldn't think less of Clinton, he outdoes himself.

I read somewhere that Chirac "looked very unhappy" at the service...not sure what that was about though.

As to the Spanish PM...ppppffffttt. :)

Bill Clinton couldn't even call the Pope a great man?

Bill Clinton is so very small.

On Fox & Friends, they stated that Chirac was seated right next to President Bush. That might explain his unhappiness.

I'd be interested to see if, after this week, the number of those "reverting" to Catholicism increases.

Once you understand Bill and Hillary, you won't be surprised by their actions.

In GONE WITH THE WIND, Mammy gave her opinion of Rhett and Scarlett. They were, Mammy said, two mules in horse harness.
You could scrub the mules, brush their coats, and put them in fancy tack and harness, but they'd still be mules.

Bill and Hillary may polish their act, but their still two mules pretending to be thoroughbreds.

Maybe as a Protestant he can't really comment on the Pope's "greatness"?

Clinton would kill to have the kind of legacy the Pope has. Clinton is clearly jealous.

You would do your soul good by not watching NBC at all. A day without NBC is like a day with sunshine.
