Papal Faux Pas-allacies


Upon meeting Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican last weekend, Bush presented him with a gift of a wooden cane carved with English words. When the pope asked the president what they were, Bush told His Holiness, "The Ten Commandments, sir."

To sir? With love?

Rightly so. Acting like teenagers at a papal funeral!
