ROME — President Bush and Pope John Paul II (search ) met briefly for talks in Vatican City Friday at the start of the president's 36-hour tour of Italy.
The president nodded and smiled as he greeted the 84-year-old pontiff, leaning down to hold his trembling hands. The closed-door talks between the president and the Pope, who has expressed fervent opposition to the war in Iraq, were to focus on Iraq and the conflict in the

I'm glad to know, be able to tell, from this pitiful scene, that the Pope does seem to understand what he's reading. At least he still has his mind, one can hope.

President Bush is such a good man. Why other people think he is evil I will never understand. He has a heart of gold. I don't think I could be so kind to those who hate me like Ted Kennedy hates him.

The sad thing is I remember how vigorous he was when he was first elected Pope. Parkinsons has taken a real toll on his body.

I'm not watching, but I'll assume from everyone's comments that the Pope was having a weak moment, as he does so often because of his health.
But IMHO, if he mumbled or not, the political impact of this meeting is what matters.
You've got Bush, who is not a Catholic, meeting with the Pope, bestowing an honor on him.
On the other hand, you've got Kerry, who is a Catholic, openly defying the edicts of the church in supporting abortion and gay marriage.
If I were a Catholic, the symbolism of the whole scenario would be quite telling.

Touching ceremony.
Strenuous to watch due to the Pope's physical condition.
[I can hear the lib/dems spin today, 'See, GWB is moving even closer to be more like John Kerry by trying to convert to Catholicism.']
