John Boehner
the Republican Speaker of the
American House
has invited Pope Francis
the Liberal Speaker
for God's Dictatorship
of Newfound Gay
and Marxist Tolerance
to address a joint meeting
of Congress.
Boehner says the Pope
has inspired our nation
to reflect on the principles
of "human dignity
freedom
and social justice."
Nancy Pelosi
House Minority Leader
and known Democrat
also expressed
her support
for inviting him.
Now in fact
both members
are Catholic
but still
Pope Benedict's mere existence
didn't inspire
that same bright spot
of rare bipartisan agreement
(or even lip service)
to that strange
uncomfortable concept
called "the common good".
