Hey, if the inauguration is really so meaningless that it needs a negative PR blitz that backfires, we can get Pope Benedict to stand next to Rick Warren and talk about how "saving" the world from homosexuality is just as important as saving the rainforest!

January 20th can be phoba-palooza!

3. Was he really a Nazi?
I thought that was all because he was German that people called him that.

4. He was in Hitler Youth....
.... which doesn't exactly make him a Nazi.

He was a joiner ..... he liked to join things. Ya know, the auto club, the Forensic League ... Hitler Youth. :)

6. Are you suggesting that President Obama should not meet with the Pope in the next 8 years?
Would we have gotten all the phony outrage if it were the Pope giving the invocation?
