Habemus Mama

“The Catholic Church can never recover as long as its Holy Shepherd is seen as a black sheep in the ever-darkening sex abuse scandal. The nuns have historically cleaned up the messes of priests. And this is a historic mess. Benedict should go home to Bavaria. Yup, we need a Nope — a nun who is pope.” — N.Y. Times columnist Maureen Dowd in her 3.27 Sunday column.

  1. The thing that seems to slip through the cracks of this whole ugly mss is that when they were floating possible popes, it was ALREADY KNOWN that this guy had covered up for child molesting priests. This is not new at all. So, that it all comes to a head now, years after he’s been selected, seems late to the party.

    Don’t misunderstand me. This whole thing sickens me and I think all of these people should be charged and tried for their crimes and those who covered it up should also be behind bars.

    There should be zero tolerance for those who do this type of atrocity against humanity.

  2. European mobs being what they are, there’s something delicious about how now that that blood is in the water they beginning to rise up. Not back when there was more than ample evidence coming out of America and any intelligent person could surmise that if it’s that widespread here then it probably is pretty widespread there.

    Wonder how long it will take them (if ever) to finally realize that priests have been sexually abusing others and themselves from the moment it was decided they couldn’t have sex. A human being’s primary motivation after eating is fucking. That simple. It’s your purpose for drawing air and if you deny it accepted outlets, it will find unacceptable ones.

    The sweet irony here is that the cardinals elected Joe Ratzinger to be a retro pope and put some breaks on John Paul’s modernizing. If this thing keeps snowballing, it’s going to not only take down their dear old Benedict, but a lot of the hierarchy as well.

  3. So I guess Maher temporarily takes Hitchens off his shitlist when he needs some sharp, intelligently delivered religion-bashin’. I see how that works. (“Stick to the topic, Chris!”)

    I agree with Hitch, for the record, and not just when he’s on my side.

  4. Yet again, Cro-Magnon Crabtree, your hysterical ignorance is showing.

    Do you know who has been a guest on Maher’s two shows more times than anyone other then Ben Affleck and PJ O’Rourke? Right. You guessed it. Christopher Hitchens.

    Do you ever actually think-or perhaps even research-BEFORE you write?

    The answer is, YET AGAIN, pretty fucking obvious.

  5. Wuh? Me no like how you talk. I club you hard for making ha ha at me.

    Christ, Vinessa, you’re wound tighter than a paper snare drum.

    And I admire the deep research you’ve done on behalf of this post in regards to the Maher show. I’d like to see the data along with the hard numbers that back up your statements, not that I doubt them. I’ll send a courier.

    (so happy that I seem to get ‘neath your soft, delicate skin)

    For the record, Maher did get rather bent out of shape and kept him off for a while when Hitchens was saying mean things about Bill and Hillary. (“No One Left to Lie To”)

  6. (I’m presently curled in the corner, hands over ears, duck and cover position, waiting for the inevitable Category 12 thermonuclear Vinessa concussion blast)

  7. I don’t know for a fact that Hitchens is the third-most frequent guest on Maher’s show, but I do know that he IS a frequent guest, and has been as long as I’ve been watching it. So this “shitlist” of Maher’s that he’s supposedly been on, is either fairly old or never existed. Usually he’s on the panel, though, not the featured interview.

  8. And here’s the other thing, Crabs. They happened to be good friends and Hitchens has told stories about their many wild nights getting hammered together.

  9. Hitchens in his Bush years was such a tool, but this Pope is definitely a certifiable bastard. JPII needs a lot of the blame, he was cultivating the shit out of this guy. Pedophilia is practically secret doctrine for Catholic priests. Remember when Sinead O’Connor got a ton of shit for ripping up a pic of the Pope? It was because of allegations of child abuse. She was write the whole time.

  10. Maher parties with Ann Coulter, and if that doesn’t make your brain explode, check this…. she’s been to over a hundred Dead shows.

    I watched Maher back in the ABC days, when it was actually a fairly balanced group of talkers snarking on the ridiculousness of Washington. (back when Arianna Huffington found it more professionally expedient to be a conservative)

    It was a good show then.

    Now it’s just a big, liberal vanity project for Maher. People say liberals aren’t treated nicely by Bill O’Reilly, but at least Bill doesn’t rip the person in front of a stacked guest deck and a studio packed with sycophant agreers clapping like seals at his every word.

    I wouldn’t dig that framework if the person running it spoke my jive, much less one who doesn’t.

    And really, don’t you think he’s becoming sort of ridiculous? It seems half of what he says these days is more or less said to invoke a “can you believe what Bill Maher is saying?!” reaction than actual thought.

    Finally, I love me Hitchens. It’s just funny how he’s confounded people by not going down a straight line. i.e., conservatives like him ’till he starts in against religion, liberals like him ’till he tears into, well, where do I start.

    Count down to Vinessa response………

  11. I actually agree with you regarding what Maher has become, Crabs.

    And you know what? I just learned that about Ann Coulter earlier in the day. She’s also a huge Phish and Dave Matthews fan. Go figure.

    She’s lucky she’s rich so she can get abox at those shows. Because if she dared to step out on to the floor with the common people she probably would not make it home in one piece.

    I forget what the correct rules are regarding pre-op transsexuals. Should I be referring to her as a him? Is it before or after he/she has that final surgery? Let’s just call her Man Coulter from now on. After all, her/his adam’s apple is more pronounced than most of the other men she emulates.

  12. Look at Travis, the big ol’ conservative pretending that he watches Maher’s show.

    Yeah, O’Reilly doesn’t have a studio audience. He just talks over his guests, cuts them off, then cuts their mic when he’s had enough.

    That’s fair.
