DRUDGE REPORT: Clinton: Pope 'May Have Mixed Legacy'

Drudge Report ^ | WED APRIL 06, 2005 | Matt Drudge

[West Coast Conservative]

En route to Rome, Clinton told reporters the pope “centralized authority in the papacy again and enforced a very conservative theological doctrine. There will be debates about that. The number of Catholics increased by 250 million on his watch. But the numbers of priests didn't. He's like all of us - he may have a mixed legacy.”

Clinton was also asked about his first flight aboard Air Force One since the end of his presidency: “I never thought I'd be on this plane again - I had a good time. They have turkey burgers too, which they didn't have when I was here. If they'd been serving me turkey burgers, I might not have heart surgery.”

You haven't been to Mass lately. All too often, our glorious organs are gathering dust, while the faithful are bombarded by folk-rock combos playing religious jingles.

Of course he had a taste for things greasy and bovine

Stop talking about Monica that way!

[Peelod]

tens of thousands of new Catholic voters every year.

...who weren't aborted 18+ yrs ago.

[54skylark]

Can someone pull slick willy aside and tell him legacy's are created naturally. Not by trying to create them on your own.

[Socratic]

"Stop talking about Monica that way!"

I knew I could word it in such a way that others would "get it."

From Article:"If they'd been serving me (up as a) turkey burger, I might not have had heart surgery"

Oh Clinton! They are serving you up. :-)

Take a peak and look real close.

Trying to tie the Pope to his own legacy....same ol Bill, it's all about him.

[kilowhskey]

Mr. Clinton is utterly lacking in the social graces.

You Catholics have to put up with that stuff too? I thought it was only us Protestants.

Doctors need to work on his brain next, lol.

[CheneyChick]

Hillary's feet make her look like the Wild Witch of the West.

[LauraleeBraswell]

They both have criticized the Christian right. No one is more Christian right than the pope.

[myprecious]

LOL. Thanks for the softball.

[Zivasmate]

I think Clinton would settle for a "mixed" legacy.

[PISANO]

NO matter WHAT it may be.........BJ always manages to make it all about him!!

This guy is an analysts wet dream!!!

[Cobra64]

W should have ordered one of his agents to open the rear door and... bubba-bye!

[acapesket]

You are so right but my point would be
The Manslaughter and the Treasonous Lying Viet Nam "Vet" as well as the world's most famous Adulterer are attending the Pope's funeral!
Talk about tempting fate!
