  1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    FeelTheBern is Latin for Kick Me.

    1. Drave Robber   10 years ago

      BernumSentite would be more appropriate in Vatican.

      1. Drave Robber   10 years ago

        (I took the liberty to interpret 'feel' as plural imperative as Latin singular and plural forms are different)

        1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

          You just know someone was about to jump on you for that.

  2. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

    Bernie is insufficiently progressive for the Pope

    1. straffinrun   10 years ago

      You who else doesn't want you to believe in unseen forces? *Sorry, Eddie*

      1. Pompey   10 years ago

        Choose your Dialectic: Historical or Material

      2. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

        Meh, he doesn't trust me, I don't trust him

        1. straffinrun   10 years ago

          The culture of prosperity deadens us; we are thrilled if the market offers us something new to purchase; and in the meantime all those lives stunted for lack of opportunity seem a mere spectacle; they fail to move us.

          Seems like Francis has found a different Jew to lead him. This one has a Brooklyn accent.

  3. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

    What did Bernie say while there? "Mr. Pope, your holiness, sir.... TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!"

    1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

      "Ich bin ein Vaticaner"

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        "*slappus!* maximus"

        1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

          I am Slappus Maximus, father to a murdered slap, husband to a murdered slap. And I will have my slapped ass, in this life or the next.

          1. WTF   10 years ago

            *Schlagen!*

        2. Demoted Comment (Slammer)   10 years ago

          *depalmo*

    2. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

      "We choose to go to Socialism in this d'cade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because corporations will be forced to pay their fair share."

      "Also, sorry for what my people did to your savior."

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        "As a token of my sincerity, I will waive your $27 contribution."

    3. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      "Eight score and 8 years ago... when Father Carl brought forth the Manifesto of Progress..."

  4. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

    Bernie's no hippie, the Hippies threw him out for being too lazy.

  5. Demoted Comment (Slammer)   10 years ago

    Francis is a window-glass licker

    1. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      It's actually hard to tell. A cartoonist would have put a couple of those slanted, parallel lines to indicate glass. With Bok... I can't be sure.

    2. Nihil   10 years ago

      Windowlicker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBS4Gi1y_nc

  6. Karinka   10 years ago

    Want to meet a girl? Welcome to http://goo.gl/mxiosK
    the Best adult Dating site!

    1. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      Pope Francis does not want to meet an adult girl. But thank you anyway.

    2. Pompey   10 years ago

      I'm not falling for THAT one again!

  7. LibertarianJRT   10 years ago

    "I didn't leave the Church. The Church left me."

  8. LibertarianJRT   10 years ago

    "I didn't leave the Church. The Church left me."

    1. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      Squirrels aren't allowed in church. Well... maybe down at St. Francis of Assisi

    2. straffinrun   10 years ago

      You have to say it once more for it to count.

      1. Rich   10 years ago

        "Domine, Domine, Domine."

      2. Curt   10 years ago

        Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,...
