Once again, the ability of people to check their sources has been shown to be sadly lacking, and people who come in with such a mocking attitude only look like idiots when they are wrong.
Half of those were said by Dan Quayle, NOT George Bush, making a mockery of your claim that they are 100% authentic.

This will be one of the highlights of my presidency, to have been at this great ceremony.'
speaking on Pope John Paul II's funeral--Waco, Texas, Apr. 8, 2005
i never knew a funeral could be so positive...a highlight of his career even 😬
in fact, here are the quotes:

so there you go. dubya will NOT tolerate ANY disrespect!!! you dont just call

"I also bring a message from my government that says to you, sir, we will work for human liberty and human dignity, in order to spread peace and compassion. That we appreciate the strong symbol of freedom that you have stood for, and we recognize the power of freedom to change societies and to change the world. And so, sir, we're honored to be here. Perhaps the best way I can express my country's gratitude to you, and our respect to you, is to present to you the Medal of Freedom from America."

when you talk to the pope, you refer to him as "you're holiness" or "holy father"....if you have an ounce of respect for him that is. but dubya looks down on catholics and that is plain to see.
