This whole Vatican thing has been hilarious [View all]

Bernie confirms he will visit the Vatican.

HE WASN'T INVITED!

Vatican confirms he was invited.

HE ASKED TO BE INVITED!

Vatican confirms he did not ask.

WELL, HE ISN'T GOING TO EVEN SPEAK!

Vatican confirms he's going to speak.

BUT IT'S ONLY TEN MINUTES!

Vatican schedule lists multiple attendees who don't even speak.

YEAH, WELL...THE POPE'S AN ASSHOLE!

I don't understand how people think this behavior translates into support of Hillary. She simply had nothing to do with it and all the screaming around here, if anything, makes her look bad by implication. Honest discussion of issues would go a lot further and not suffer any blowback.
