New Catholic Cardinal Cracks Joke About Cheney

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Boston Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley, seen below, is apparantly known for wearing non-descript brown garb. Now that he’s a cardinal he joked a bit about the new red outfit.

Brown is the new pink!
“Cardinal-designate Sean P. O’Malley told Boston reporters that he told the tailor, ‘I could always wear it if I was called to be on a hunting expedition with the vice president,’ Dick Cheney. ‘It’s very red.’”

From here and here. Thanks Chris!

The Onion’s got a great piece referencing Lubbock, TX.

Clarkson added: “And when we opened up the back of the truck and they saw that it was full of Bibles… Grown men and women wept in front of their children. That’s how moved they were by the Holy Spirit. That’s how I know it’s all been worth it.”

I find it particularly poignant due to the time I’ve spent in the city among people just like the fictional Clarkson from the story. The Christian/conservative sentiment in Lubbuttocks is strong enough for me to sadly wonder whether or not this story is true or not.
