[Luggie]

PB: 'Thats a nice carpet for sweeping things under.'

[PaulW]

George, this room gives me a whole new perspective...

[Andrew Milner]

So where you heading in February 2009, George?

[Chris Gillibrand]

It has been announced that Gorgeous George Bush is to succeed Gorgeous George Ganswein in the role of Papal secretary. The original Georgeous George looks on from the wall, worrying that he may shortly be replaced by a painting of St George, and wonders if he could be quickly canonised.

What a great motto your country has- can the Catholic Church use it as well?

[jayil]

The pope pointing down at Great Seal of the United States says - "So Mr Bush...Why do Americans worship the eagle" ?

[Curran]

Pope - "Nice place you've got here"

Bush - "Thanks Ben"

(whispers aside) "I'll keep him talking guys, while you invade Vatican City for it's fortunes. Got to find funding for this Iraq debacle somehow"

[Alistair]

Yo, your Popeness! The Reverend Gordon Blair from the Church of the Latter Day Converts is on his way over. Whaddiya say we have a few Buds, shoot some pool and grab a steak at Hooters?

[alan]

Tell me, Ratzi, where do you buy your fancy dresses?

[Alistair]

Gee, Rats, you masterminded the greatest cover-up of thousands of terrible crimes all over the world, you kept yourself and all your lieutenants who helped you do it outta jail, and yet people still admire and respect you and chuck money at you everywhere you go.

Ever thought abour runnin' for President with talent like that? You sure you ain’t Family?

[Rick Beekman]

Pope (Thinking)
"I Cannot Believe The Welcome! A 21 Gun Salute...Secret Service And FBI Protecting Me..The Military..And A Multi-Level Birthday Cake To Boot!

P.T. Barnum Was Correct When He Said "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute".!!!

[Stuart Hartill]

I don't like the pattern either, but Mum chose it.

[Jocee]

If I told you once, I told you a thousand times. It does not have to be true, only sound true. And when you tell it, tell it with conviction as if it is fact.

Trust me. If people buy into this idea the church can change the Ten Commandments, which was written by the finger of God, you can get people to buy into anything.

(Think about it. God said keep the sabbath holy - we say keep sunday holy - who do people listen to?)

[Aware American]

You've done well my young apprentice.

[e skelton]

So, whats it like being Dalai Lama?

[e skelton]

Pope Benedict became very uneasy as conversation shifted to the Easter Bunny.

[Joji Myers]

White smoke huh? We have that, white hats, though I had a lot of "white smoke" helping me get into office.

[George Myers]

...Mary's mother was an Egyptian virgin? Jesus was an African?

[Don]

G.B. So Pope, this name Benedict, did you take it from like egg benedict?

[George Myers]

Did you get my black shamrocks?

[Monica Ahmed]

Who will complete the trilogy son?

[Stephen robertson]

Bush: If folks are going to get carpeted, you may as well have nice carpet.

[Rick Beekman]

"Your Holiness we have a full schedule. In a few minutes you'll get to meet Father Guido Sarducci our resident "Cool" clergy and Prim and Proper The "Church Lady" from the old "Saturday Night Live" TV show....then Birhday Cake..Presents. Then rest a bit..and we've arranged for you to go hunting with Dick Cheney"

Pope; Thanks George But I'd rather face a hostile crowd of angry Muslims..then go Hunting with Dick"!!

[mal]

The fireplace is a long way Bush-are you burning?

[Lex]

"George, not even God can help you, sorry."

[Garth Strong]

"George, the Sainthood may take some time. "Saint George", hmm? I am sure that you know that the Church never moves quickly on these matters. However, do keep the faith! By the way..I am an old man..please remind me of some of the miracles that you have performed?

[Geoffrey]

How come you have the same curtains as I do back in the Vatican?

[Alistair]

"George, not even God can help you, sorry."

Lex, shouldn't that be the other way round, ie

"Benedict, sorry, not even God can help you"

Think overseeing cover-up of priestly child abuse scandal...

[Jonathan]

This is nothing compared to my humble abode in the Vatican!Actually, can I have all this decor please,it would look nice in my toilet and goes with what I wear 24/7?

[Kodos]

- I am infallible, you see, I was chosen through secret deliberation by a cabal of elders, to represent God.
- I know, George, I know ...

Pope wears stunning white Dolce & Gabanna wedding dress for civil partnership ceremony with George Bush

[Dichard Rawkins]

Yo Popeye, let's keep screwing the world.

[A Jones]

'The centre of the rug represents the epicentre of american politics. Oh, and if you need the services of a hairdresser let me know'

[Jess H]

Why are we sitting here when there are perfectly good sofas over there?

[L'Etat-Eglise]

The two leaders representing Church and State may have discussed specific issues of international affairs and geopolitics, eg. the Middle East, Europe and the Transatlantic agenda, etc. The Papal interest in international affairs is long-standing and its own very specific agenda has remained essentially unchanged in centuries.
