Joe Biden: U.S. nearly got power of the papacy
Washington Times ^ | 3-20-13 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 03/20/2013 10:14:45 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

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.

And they accused Reagan of having dementia while in office.

Somebody owes Dan Quayle a huge, huge apology.

Hate to say it, but you're right.

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

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.

This guy truly represents the dhimmicrats.

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

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

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

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

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.

"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.

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.

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.
