"Uh, d'ya remember that group called the Beatles? They were awesome."

The Dalai Lama was forced to answer some difficult questions during his trip to the US - about everything from terrorism in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting to the vocal criticism of President Obama by the Chinese after he hosted the Tibetan spiritual leader in the White House.
But none of those questions gave his holiness as much trouble as Fox News host Bret Baier asking him during an interview on Wednesday if he had ever seen the film Caddyshack.
Baier and his guest had been having a discussion about terrorism and the Muslim faith when the political anchor decided to lighten the mood by asking: 'Last thing, have you ever seen the movie Caddyshack?'

Visibly confused, the Dalai Lama responded to this by saying: 'What?' Baier tried again, saying: 'Caddyshack the movie.'
The Dalai Lama seemed to give up at that point and said: 'I don’t know.'
A persistent Baier tried one final time though, saying: 'The part about the Dalai Lama.'
Things only got more awkward from there when Baier decided to ask a few more follow-up questions about sports and a film that the spiritual leader has never seen in his life.
'Have you ever played golf?' asked Baier. 'No,' said the Dalai Lama.
'You’re not a big hitter?' asked Baier, in his fourth reference to Caddyshack.
'In badminton,' said the Dalai Lama, who then began to swing an invisible racket above his head.
'But not golf?' asked Baier, again.
'No,' said the Dalai Lama, again.

He has at least recognized that he has to come out against Islam if he wants to survive, and has been willing to buck the Leftist narrative. I’ll give him credit for that, even though he is fundamentally a deluded Satanist.
Ginger or Mary Ann...?
Ginger or Mary Ann...?
Wouldn’t the producers owe the Lama royalties then?
Good one but somebody already beat ya to that up-thread!
"Uh, d'ya remember that group called the Beatles? They were awesome."
Hilarious! Thanks!
Really?
Both is my only slightly out of the box solution too. Then we invite the questions of concurrency or order....
The premise is actualy funny. Shoulda asked 0bama though.
LIke Alfred E. Newman.
Maybe, but he spoke out about Europe taking too many supposed refugees, which is better than 99% of our supposed leadership.
To millions of people, yeah really.
Insightful post. I can see where the Western press trots him out like a smiling icon of multicultural, One-World enlightenment; yet he has failed, as you explain it, to rise to an effective leadership responsibility. I don’t know what his faith consists of; could there be a theological belief (in his context) for allowing so much destruction, perhaps the belief that the dead are better off in the next world?
Square-headed people like Baier are unintentionally entertaining...and tidy.
The Dali Lama goes to the pizza shop and says, “make me one with everything.”
Well, a billion flies can’t be wrong either, can they?
” perhaps the belief that the dead are better off in the next world? “
Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhism takes off on all kinds of flights of fantasy that completely depart from the tradition Buddhism ( Theravada ) which the Buddha himself originally taught . One thing is common however ; a near infinite succession of future lives based on our actions and behaviors , incurring positive or negative karma in this lifetime . That the only way out of this cycle of suffering is thru consciously engaging in the spiritual training regimes that lead ultimately to Enlightenment .
H.H. Dalai Lama is 100% completely invested in this belief set and I do not fault him personally . Yet were the rest of humanity to subscribe to these beliefs we would ensure our own extinction , at the hands of those who do not give a rip about any such beliefs and furthermore hold those that do hold such beliefs in complete contempt and feel it behooves them to murder to the point of extinction those that do . A tour through formerly Buddhist areas of India , which I have made several times , shows what happens when a people and a belief set that bases on complete pacifism are confronted by a rapacious ultra proselytic belief set like Islam and muslims . The Buddhists were totally wiped out , or driven away , their temples and stupas destroyed or built over upon . What does this remind you of ? The Temple Mount in Jerusalem ? It’s a common pattern . Islam is the arch enemy of Buddhist and Buddhism . Including the Dalai Lama . He just refuses to see it .
It’s been a while for me, too. I did not really recall the Dalai Lama scene.
What I remember most was Bill Murray chasing the gopher.
