There are so many minor stories that are embarrassing to liberals to blog about this afternoon, it’s hard to choose just one. Should I blog the fact that gutless Hillary Clinton waited for the Pope’s arrival to dump the news that she’s taking the predictable orthodox left-wing position on the Keystone Pipeline? Should I blog about left-wing writers being so stupid that they don’t realize the word “retarded” has a non-slur definition? Or should I blog the fact that America’s been planning the Pope’s visit for months and somehow Obama still couldn’t quite get to the airport on time?
When in doubt, go with O. And really, in his defense, he might have had a good reason to be late. He has a lot on his plate right now, like doing nothing while Putin takes over Syria.
As the pope stalkers of the world watched his flight path on the Alitalia website, suddenly… the plane started making donuts. Several loops over North Carolina later, the pope is back on his way to D.C…
A source on the ground at Joint Base Andrews said several government officials told him the reason the plane started circling was that Obama and Biden are running late to the greeting ceremony. Ooops. Seems like even the bishop of Rome has to adjust his schedule around Beltway traffic.
On the one hand, so many extra emissions. On the other hand, let’s keep this in perspective. It’s not like Obama isn’t going to deliver much grander insults to the Pope later this week.
Here’s video of the fateful meeting with color commentary by a newly demoted Brian Williams. One’s the leader of a faith of millions of people who consider him infallible, and the other’s Pope Francis.

Unfortunately, some pedant has pointed out that the plane arrived at the exact scheduled time, 4:00 PM, and both Obama and Biden were there to greet the Pope.
I can’t wait to hear the Pope’s condemnation of Planned Parenthood’s ‘Living Baby Body Part Chop Shop’ during his speech before Congress!
Why was the Pope’s plane forced to circle if it was not delayed?
They didn't want everyone to see photos of the Pope standing around on the tarmac waiting for Obama and Biden to show up.
The obvious answer that occurs to me is that they realized they were running early, and decided to kill a little time.
Yeah I saw that, but then we know the fact it’s that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave who is always late
Antichrist late to meet the false prophet!
There fixed it
I just watched the video, and I thought Granny and the girls looked nice, but MO’s dress was so ill fitting, I can’t believe she wore it in public. Too small at the arms, and boobs. It looked like you could see the out!ine of her nipple on her left side. Someone get her some decent foundation garments, and a decent stylist. Sheesh.
I think the saying in the South is something about trying to squeeze 10 lbs of potatoes in to a 5 lb sack.
Here’s the flight:

The weather was good. I don’t know of any other reason the plane went into a hold, other than the Emperor ordered it.
