The Griffin on the pope and Ron the dope

I got the following post from the Griffin who has been soaking up the sunshine south of the border for a week or two:

“Lex is right on track. The Libs cannot say ‘I have no opinion’ or ‘I have nothing to add to the discussion’. Our mothers and fathers taught us to keep our mouths shut if you do not know what you talking about.

“Ron ‘Tight Pants’ Reagan is a great example of someone who ignores mom and dad’s advise. Soooo Mr. Ron, could you enlighten us on the pros and cons of 21st century technology in harnessing the energy released by the two processes of fission and fusion? Knowing that you are against nuclear power generation and being a progressive means that you must have some insight into our future energy needs and our options. Please avoid any reference to windmills or oceanic wave action which would generate about 0.002% of our future needs.

“By the way, what was the pope's position on the world's future energy needs? My advice to Mr. Lite Loafers is to defer to the experts. That is why we have experts. The pope concentrated on bringing salvation to the people of the world. You have brought salvation to....? The pope is the leader of the Catholic Church. You are the leader of ...? The pope is an expert on the Catholic Church and its catechism. You are an expert on…?

“Personally I have a problem with a person that gives a eulogy at his father’s funeral and uses the solemn occasion as an opportunity to criticize a sitting president. Aren't the two disjointed? It seems a long, self serving stretch to me.

“As a final comment I would say that those that truly dedicate themselves to being priests, doctors, teachers, patriots, parents, etc, deserve to be heard as those with insight and expertise. If you want to know about how to drill for oil, don't call the Sierra Club. If you want to know how to set a broken leg, don’t call a plumber. If you want to know more about religion, don't ask Ron-Boy from the land of fruits and nuts. Later.”
