Two things that mean he won't be at the White House.

Hence, they’ll be dining separately.

It's pretty sad when the Most Evil Man In The World (tm) won't have dinner with The Most Evil And Despised Ruler Of A Supposedly Democratic, Free Nation (tm).

I hope Bush understands this for the slap it is, but I doubt he has the gray matter to do so. He's not Catholic, what does he care if the Pope ignores him? As long as Laura calls him her "pole-monkey" he'll continue with business as usual. Pass that man a double vodka tonic! Let's make some policy!

Yee-haw!

Just how lame of a lame duck president of the most powerful nation on earth do you have to be to get ignored by the pope? And Pope Rat isn't even making up a polite excuse for cover. Just "no thanks, not interested". That's gotta hurt.
