If they found the model on Craig’s List it might be a model that turns around and bites them on the ass.

slavojzizek November 23, 2009 at 9:31 am

That model is a ten year old Indonesian boy with angelic skin. But his loud voice! You would think he is eighteen.

The Politico: filling a need we didn’t have in the first place since 2007.

Jeanne Cummings. The End.

BeWoot November 23, 2009 at 9:39 am

Does this mean Dick Armey is Catholic?

Servo November 23, 2009 at 9:40 am

I always thought they were after a “church voice” type. In church, nobody can hear you scream – because you’ll burn in Hell if you do.

Bishops Go Rogue!

Larry McAwful November 23, 2009 at 9:46 am

[re=464626]freakishlystrong[/re]: Heh… that would be especially funny, because I’ve heard that “going rogue” is a British idiom for unprotected anal sex.

Bishops extending their hands to reach around the community. By Heywood Yablowme

The Bishop: “Ok, Devious , don’t move!”
Devious: “The Bishop!!”

The same Jeanne Cummings who told Ratigan that “we get it wrong more often than we get it right”? So which is this?

charlesdegoal November 23, 2009 at 9:54 am

No only that but grammatically wanting too.

If they want real influence, they might try serving Ragin’ Cajun Barbecue communion wafers some morning. Then I might start coming to mass again. Also for the communion scotch they should start serving, on the rocks.

So the most vile, corrupt, harmful organization on Earth thinks it’ll have more influence on US policy. Great, just great.

V572625694 November 23, 2009 at 10:10 am

[re=464641]JMP[/re]: “the most vile, corrupt, harmful organization on Earth…”\

What does my cable company have to do with this?

Mr Blifil November 23, 2009 at 10:14 am

What’s with all the “lobbying” btw? Don’t they have a special deal with the head honcho, for fuck’s sake? Life was much easier when all they had to do was push around the serfs.

freakishlystrong November 23, 2009 at 10:16 am

[re=464627]Larry McAwful[/re]: As, from your numerous posts on the subject, I am deeply aware! And I am spreading that everywhere.

cynbot November 23, 2009 at 10:18 am

So they’re going to launch that major anti-death penalty drive now that their “pro-life” philosophy demands, right? Right? Anybody? Anybody? Cardinal Buehler?

Larry McAwful November 23, 2009 at 10:21 am

The real question is how make a sexual pun out of the word Jeanne. I don’t want to get sued by a Prejean.

Joshua Norton November 23, 2009 at 10:26 am

There’s also a big push to bring back burning at the stake because…

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.

Advocatus_Diaboli November 23, 2009 at 10:30 am

I Just know they’ll use all that lobbying power to end pedophilia.

what?

I thought there was that whole “separation of church and state” thing.

Nice sidebar ad tie in to JFK.

Wonder if this speech is on the CD?

Jesus H. Christ wrote an open letter to the Congress today asking that they begin an inquiry into the non-profit status of the Roman Catholic Church. “If those radicals are constantly lobbying, lobbying, lobbying, then their non-profit status should be revoked. Let those freaking righty hotheads pay taxes just like any political action committee, that will set them back a bit. Do not make My Father’s house a house of influence. Love your neighbor as yourself! Kumbaya!”

Several congresspeople’s offices declined to comment for this story. A representative for Joseph Liebermann’s office stated that he didn’t know if Mr. Christ is an actual voter, but he’s pretty sure that he’s not from the Senator’s home district.”

gjdodger November 23, 2009 at 10:49 am

[re=464655]JMP[/re]: Not necessarily. They’re all vile, corrupt and harmful. I think there’s some sort of national competition as to which can be the vilest, most corrupt and most harmful.

Holy Cow!! November 23, 2009 at 11:09 am

They have learned how to use all that tax free money to buy politicians.

[re=464672]ManchuCandidate[/re]:
As every Wingnut knows, that’s not what the founding fathers really meant.

SayItWithWookies November 23, 2009 at 11:45 am

[re=464672]ManchuCandidate[/re]: According to the state, yes. According to the church, is “separation of state from whichever religions don’t get to the ruling class first.” They interpret their relationship to be sort of like the sperm’s to the egg.

Tundra Grifter November 23, 2009 at 12:02 pm

[re=464673]Clever_Sobriquet[/re]: That is a great speech! Watch the video – President Kennedy departed from his text during the speech and named some Hispanic folks – the transcript leaves that out.

The best line from that speech, in my opinion: “So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again not what kind of church I believe in — for that should be important only to me — but what kind of America I believe in.”

That’s for all those conservative gasbag “Rev. Wright” wing nutz out there!

Tundra Grifter November 23, 2009 at 12:03 pm

I wonder if that “lobbying model” is named Levi?

betterDeadThanRed November 23, 2009 at 12:13 pm

Tragically, Tonight we are all Patrick Kennedy.

Oh no. Don’t tell me they’re going to “flex muscle” in Playgirl like teen idol Levi!

rottenart November 23, 2009 at 2:18 pm

Weird. The Catholic church has been so shy and quiet up until now.

Larry McAwful November 23, 2009 at 2:28 pm

[re=464684]Mild Midwesterner[/re]: Nice! Thanks for the tip!

Extemporanus November 23, 2009 at 2:51 pm

[re=464777]bitchincamaro[/re]: Finally, someone states the bloody obvious! I thought I might have to get Bearbloke on the horn.

Speaking of which:

Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister’s moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry.

Which was inspired by this anonymous little ditty from the 1600:

They talked of his having a Cardinal’s Hat,
They’d send him as soon an Old Nun’s Twat.

“Twat” did not mean what Browning thought it did. But because of Browning, we continue to blessed with it today.

DustBowlBlues November 23, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Have I failed to mention how much I hate the fucking Catholic church? My UMeth. pastor has pointed out to me any number of times that many American Catholics disagree with the Pope and I finally said,”Yeah, but what’s the official position from the Vatican? Have they changed? I’m so fed up with bullshit Xians of any ilk trying to fucking tell me how to live.

Where are we, anyway? Saudi Arabia?

Fuck their bishops and their silly hats.

DustBowlBlues November 23, 2009 at 3:35 pm

[re=464674]snideinplainsight[/re]: Senators from the Bible Belt should start the investigation on their tax-exempt status, since the Catholic church is pretty hated in the south and it might give the Southern Baptist Convention more power.

cashaholic November 23, 2009 at 9:18 pm
