Forget Sharon Stone, Jason Alexander, and Roger Waters. Next year in Jerusalem for The Pope?
Pope Benedict XVI is considering visiting Israel in the first part of 2007, Shimon Peres said Thursday after meeting with the pontiff at the Vatican.
Peres renewed an invitation, first made last year by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, for the pope to visit Israel. “He indicated that he may do it in the first part of next year,” Peres told a news conference.
So, will the unwilling Hitler Youth alumnus take his Popemobile to Ramallah and lay a wreath on the Tomb Of The Well-Known Terrorist?
(And when’s Bush going to fly Air Force One into Ben-Gurion? For a man who flies plastic turkeys into Iraq in the dead of night, he’s sure showing his stripes by avoiding an appearance in Israel while sending his legion of Roadmap minions in his place.)
The turkey was real and edible, and by law the President is required to take the advice of his secret service protection detail.
Bush does enough that is open to criticism, you don’t need the phony stuf.
Most President’s don’t go to Israel unless there is some funeral like Clinton going to Rabin’s. Bush should go to Israel, but I dont remember any other Prez going there while in office.
Bush and turkeys in the same sentence? This is waaaay too easy…
Surely you don’t buy into that plastic turkey story?
Actually Carter was there brokering the future Camp David deal in 1979 and Nixon was there in 1974.
