Pope to Receive Medal of Freedom
From al-Reuters:
President Bush will award Pope John Paul the Presidential Medal of Freedom Friday, the highest U.S. civilian award, a U.S. official said Thursday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the pontiff was being honored for "years of fighting for freedom and for his important moral voice."

This is an outrage of biblical proportions.OUTRAGE!
What the #%|| has the pope done for freedom lately?
"Important moral voice" my @$$. When the pope cracks down on pedophile priests and the bishops who love them, let's talk. Until then...the pope deserves a cold shoulder and a reminder that he has a moral voice and he should use it. For good this time.

Pope boy needs to remember that if it hadn't been for America, there would be no Poland. His countrymen fighting in Iraq remember, it is a shame that the dribbling snivelling pontiff does not remember.
