Joe Biden: U.S. nearly got power of the papacy

Washington Times ^ | 3-20-13 | Dave Boyer

Vice President Joseph R. Biden said Wednesday the U.S. “almost had a chance at power” of the papacy, asserting that Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley nearly got elected pope.

“We almost made it big,” Mr. Biden said. “We almost had a chance at power. We came that close, that close.”

~snip~

The vice president also read the first line of a poem by his grandfather called “My Mother’s Land A-Ruin,” the first line of which went: “Oh how I hate the name of England …” Mr. Biden asked members of the media to consider his recitation humorous.

[afraidfortherepublic]

This is NOT satire. He really did say this. Joe Biden is an embarrassment to the US government and to the Catholic Church. I could shed tears over the appalling things this man says in his capacity as VP. Please Joe, sit down and shut up.

[afraidfortherepublic]

My comment is #1.

[llevrok]

Once Obama threw his support behind the Cardinal, his chances went the way of the Chicago Olympics bid... (sort of like a Sports Illustrated cover jinx)

[ScottinVA]

Yeah, I’m SURE Biden The Slow was privy to the inside decision-making of the conclave. I highly doubt the cardinals were ever close to electing a Pope that comes from this sick, secular society.

[Ramius]

Somebody owes Dan Quayle a huge, huge apology.

Joe Biden is an embarrassment to the US government and to the Catholic Church.

BTTT!!!!

[Ann Archy]

OMG!!! POWER???? Is that ALL Democrats think about??? Plus there would be NO AMERICAN POWER even IF it were an AMerican Pope!! The Pope is over the CATHOLIC Church, not a country! What a DUMBASS.

Not even close, Joe.

Bergoglio apparently went through the first round of voting, which took place on Tuesday evening, into the conclave as a leading vote-getter, but a number of other eminences garnered some votes, which were handwritten on Latin ballots with Pilot gel pens. Carlo Marroni, who covers the Vatican for Il Solo 24 Ore, reported that Cardinals Bergoglio, Scola and Marc Ouellet of Canada were the leaders.
-- from the thread Ouellet was an early favourite in conclave vote: report

[isthisnickcool]

The worst thing about growing up an American is that when you are a kid you think that those in Washington are our best and brightest but then finding out they are not.

Biden is a small minded person. Yesterday, Harry Reid linked the deaths of Marines in an accident to the sequester. These are not only sickening people they are sick people. Sick in their brains. They are as devoid of humanity as the worst criminals we have in prison.

[CrazyIvan]

“Yeah, I’m SURE Biden The Slow was privy to the inside decision-making of the conclave.”

They were going to let him burn the ballots, but he couldn’t figure out how to use matches.

[Cicero]

This is NOT satire.

My first reaction on reading the opening was to look again at the headline and news source, suspecting satire. Surely not even Joe Biden would say this?

Hah!

Every day, and in every way, he is getting stupider and stupider.

[COBOL2Java]

Joe Biden: Satan's Jack-in-the-Box. Wind him up and he'll say the stupidest things...

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Dear God!!!...He’s as dumb as a post!

[Iron Munro]

Nothing is sacred to a democrat.

In their minds everything is there to be used by them, to be twisted, manipulated, perverted for their benefit.

[TheRhinelander]

Power? What power is Biden referring to? A very telling remark.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Whatta dork.

[dragonblustar]

Joe’s mind belongs to the devil.

Hey Joe, it’s not about power or your ability to control it, it’s about Jesus and spreading the Gospel of our Lord!!!!

[The Sons of Liberty]

U.S. nearly got power of the papacy

Meaning that if O'Malley would've won, the devil 0bama would've been calling the shots?

[Fast Moving Angel]

Hey, Joe ... close only counts in horseshoes, H-bombs and hand grenades.

Sloe Joe strikes again.

And they accused Reagan of having dementia while in office.

Hate to say it, but you're right.

Guess ACORN wasn't able to get a few Cardinals to vote early and often.

[ArrogantBustard]

The man is insane. Stark. raving looney.

[massgopguy]

You should hear some of the guys in my neighborhood. They still regard Ed Markey as the best and brightest They still talk about his Jump Shot down at the park we played at.

[SoldierDad]

I'm reminded of the comment that John Kerry made in reference to being behind Bush in the polls. Something along the line of, "How can I be losing to someone so stupid". Today that question should be, "How in God's name did Obozo and Biden get elected ---------- Twice???????

Both these men are dumb as fence posts.

[353FMG]

This guy truly represents the dhimmicrats.

One thing he has right — the papacy is a powerful institution.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Mr. Biden asked members of the media to consider his recitation humorous.

I consider everything Biden says as humorous. Intentionally or otherwise.

[Biggirl]

To tell you the truth, I cannot tell the difference between “what is real or what is satire” in regards to VP Biden.

[beelzepug]

“... close only counts in horseshoes...”

And elections, if you’re the one who gets to count the votes.

[txrefugee]

I, too, had to check to see that this was not a parody. Good grief....the Catholic church should be embarrassed to have such a small-minded, morally bankrupt adherent, who would look upon the papacy as a power trip. Utterly shameful.

[haffast]

"How in God's name did Obozo and Biden get elected ---------- Twice??????? Both these men are dumb as fence posts.

"Before he was a devoted husband and father, or a U.S. Senator, or a presidential candidate of historic accomplishments, Barack Obama took a job working as a community organizer for a group of eight Catholic parishes in one of the nation’s largest cities. With funding from the U.S. Bishops and working for three years out of an office in a Catholic church rectory, he embarked on a campaign to empower the lives of thousands of people who were suffering through economic circumstances not unlike what has befallen our country today."

What power? What happened to the secularist meme that there’s a separation between Church and State? It’s why we’re not even permitted a creche in the public arena along with all the other restrictions they use to stifle us.

[Kenny Bunk]

O'Malley is too busy to be Pope. He has to sell off the assets of the archdiocese, loot the priests' pensions, and make sweetheart real estate deals with Bishops' relatives in order to buy his way out of the "sex" scandals caused by recruiting queers to the priesthood in the 60s and 70's.

The guy is also a wise-cracking barfly type'o'priest. Woulda been played by Jimmy Cagney, to be corrected harshly by Pat O'Brien. OBTW, did you ever notice that Biden is looking more and more like Frank Perdue, the chicken man from Delaware?

Also, BTW, don't be fooled by his idiot act. Biden is the guy who discovered Obama, "The Clean Black Man with no accent ...sharp..." and is a highly skilled partisan back-room wheeler dealer.

Plan is for Joe to die in office, (Brain Tumor Makes a Comeback) leaving Michelle (aka the missing Williams Sister) as your leader.
Don't forget. Youse heard it here first.

[Mrs. Don-o]

What a buffoon.

[dforest]

I can’t take this crap anymore. These lefties are worse than mentally ill. They are demonic. Time for people to take a walk to the WH and eject them.

[Slings and Arrows]

Sit down, Joe!

[nothingnew]

Keep talkin' Joe. The men who wear the white coats will soon give you a free ride.

What is your point???

[TYVets]

There would be NO AMERICAN POWER even IF it were an American Pope!!

The Pope is over the CATHOLIC Church, not a country!

What a DUMBASS.

You nailed it.

“Meaning that if O’Malley would’ve won, the devil 0bama would’ve been calling the shots?”

I was thinking of “all the power” as in Obama already has the power of hell wrapped up. And this would give them Heaven’s.

[OpusatFR]

How long Lord?

[SaraJohnson]

He means that the social Marxists in his policitical party (and the LIEbertarians) and administration “almost got the papacy.

[Preston Manning]

Biden really should be wearing a helmet at all times.

Failing that, he needs to stop pushing the Q-Tip in so far.

[hattend]

“We almost made it big,” Mr. Biden said. “We almost had a chance at power. We came that close, that close.”

You have a mouse in your pocket, Joe? What kind of "power" are you looking for, Joe?
