SPIN
I see that they are trying to soften Herr Ratz image already.
I read that the US cardinals are saying that he is not all that bad really. "In one voice" the Times said. I guess that means there are talking points.
Cardinal Mahoney, our local embarrassment, said that the kraut was the kind of guy you could go to Starbucks with and have an enjoyable coffee. Yeh. When is the last time that Mahoney was seen at a Starbucks?
Yesterday, there was a fawning article about how the panzer pope loves cats. Or is it katz? There was a cute pussy picture; a cat sleeping on a cross gravestone. A lot of irony here, I think.
The over the top coverage of this guy is amazing; as though we are all believers and dote on every bit of information.
Katz. Ratz. Figures.
