Ever wonder what one dignitary says to another in those brief moments before or after a speech or photo op? Well, here’s an example. After Pope Benedict speaks to the American people, following his arrival in Washington (to cheers and screams, no less), Bush can be heard to say: “Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech.” Dude. You can see the video, hear the speech, and hear the comment here. Note too the story about Jenna Bush and her (successful, thank God) efforts to control her skirt as she greets His Holiness.
Our friend and author, Greg Mandel, has been following the activities of His Holiness carefully, Each day he gives us another “Useless Pope Facto o’ the Day.” You can read em all at The Edge.
You can also read further adventures of A Pope, perhaps not this Pope–but who really knows–here.
