Pope Watch 2005

I don't know about the rest of you but I have had just about enough of Pope Watch 2005. If I hear one more news story about the black smoke and the white smoke, I am going to scream. Matt Lauer, who I like most of the time, went over it again this morning on the Today Show. I thinks that's the 10th time I've heard it from NBC alone. Even my six year old understands it at this point, black, no Pope, white, Pope. Do us all and favor and ease up on the coverage; the events leading up to it just aren't all that interesting. You've seen one secretive Cardinal dressed in red; you've seen them all. The next thing I want to hear about the Pope is his name.

    For all you folks out there, the black smoke means no pope, the white smoke means we have a new pope.

    I have heard enough about the anti-bugging devices too. I mean how much fun is it to listen to a popularity contest debate amongst red caped men. Who would want to bug the chapel, does someone want to hear someone disparage the candidates while changing the betting lines in Vegas for the new pope?

    Personally I'm not even interested in his name. What stuff are they smoking in there anyway?

    You are wrong! You pretend to care but know you will only use his name in vain!

    Carrot,

    Awfully unexpected comment from you, since you are the one who brought up Pope on a rope..

    "No pope lovers out there?"

    No, because if we were, we could sell our stories to the tabloids.

    Anyhow, good luck Benedict XVI!

    First question for the new Pope:

    "How do you want your eggs, Benedict?".

    Hahahaha!
