Pope Ratz Joins With Herpes Sufferer
Yes, it's great to have a Pope who was in the Hitler youth, like jolly old Pope Ratz. He's the sort of guy who only associates with godly and pious folk...like Neil "Teen Asian Sex" Bush.

"Neil Bush, the president's controversial younger brother, six years ago joined the cardinal who this week became Pope Benedict XVI as a founding board member of a little known Swiss ecumenical foundation.
The charter members of the board were all well-known international religious figures, except for Bush and his close friend and business partner, Jamal Daniel, whose family has extensive holdings in the United States and Switzerland, public records show.
Gary Vachicouras, a theologian and foundation official in Geneva, would not explain in a telephone interview yesterday why Bush, who has no clear public connection to religious causes, was on the first board.
Daniel reportedly became acquainted with Bush in 1991, the year the federal Office of Thrift Supervision sanctioned Bush for having "multiple conflicts of interest" in his role as a director of Silverado Savings and Loan, a Colorado thrift whose failure cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. Bush paid $50,000 in a settlement.
The foundation, based at the Orthodox Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Geneva, is listed by Dun & Bradstreet business credit reports as a management trust for purposes other than education, religion, charity or research. But Vachicouras said the designation must be a mistake of translation to English because the foundation is a private nonprofit established under Swiss law. "

1. Is that rotten eggs I smell?
Or is the headquarters of this organization built on a sulfur spring? I believe the origin of the odor deserves more investigation. What a pity this club was founded in Switzerland, which so masterfully protects the secrets of the corrupt and powerful.

8. And the "don't vote for Kerry" letter
Pope Ratz has nothing whatever to do with this phony foundation or any money that might have changed hands...
