Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 11:45 am

The good news, if you’re Professor Bainbridge, is that we have a new Pope. The bad news, if you’re Andrew Sullivan, is that he’s Catholic.

    Poor little Andy Sullivan, his affliction to sodomy is a mortal sin, it is his Cross to bear, and he wants to make his sin not a sin

    On hearing the news Andrew Sullivan is quoted as saying “Bugger!”

    It was a no-brainer that Andrew Sullivan was going to be unhappy, perhaps even more so that after George W. Bush’s reelection. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who thought to look him up as a half a dozen blogs…

    Ratzinger must have been made fun of a lot as a kid with a name like that

    But I just couldn’t understand how I could be any more “intrinsically evil” than the straight guy next to me. Funny, I didn’t feel like the Spawn of Satan when I got up that morning, but apparently that’s what I was.

    Now that’s funny.
    It’s a succinct and totally accurate assessment of AS’s problem with the new pope.

    Great Lines…

    I love tabloids that sport brilliant leaders (headers) such as the famous one from the New York Post: Headless Body Found in Topless Bar. I’m not a Catholic and don’t really care about the “angst” that folks like Andrew Sullivan…

    Now that the election of the Pope is over, the Dems want a recount.
