Chicago Archbishop Slips on Holy Water, Breaks Hip
By Ann Magnuson
Best Easter Sunday headline ever! From the L.A.Times:
The archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Francis George, was hospitalized with a slight hip fracture Saturday morning after he apparently slipped and fell inside a church while blessing Easter baskets, archdiocese officials said.
I'm sorry to laugh. I kinda feel like Madonna in Truth or Dare giggling about her hairdresser getting sodomized. Naughty! Naughty! Why does it all seem connected?

I beg to differ, it's not funny at all. I'm sure this was a painful injury. Would you like it if you slipped and fell and someone laughed? Think about it. You should have some empathy for this poor man. I hope he has a speedy recovery and that you find your humor in something other than another person's accident.

IM STILL LAUGHING...! ! ! ! ....now it would be funnier if he decided to resign as Cardinal.... blamed GOD for the incident and for not living a self fullfilling life....oh and maybe started a satanic metal group as well.

Clergymen falling down? that's HILAARIOUS!
Adena think of it this way: if he didn't want to be laughed at he wouldn't have fallen down in the first place. Authority figures falling down is always funny (esp when dressed in high Easter attire), inappropriate laughing always welcome.
Funniest Paperblog since Mr. Mickey told Muriel Hemingway his movie group screened Lipstick.
