Aside from the fact that I have no idea who Mylie Cyrus is – but I can guess that she ain’t no Julie Andrews – I’m not all that bent out of shape by this, although the pope may be, considering his traditionalist bent. This was not, though, exactly what I would call ‘the right word for the occasion.’ However, I have come to expect nothing less from our fearless leader. I forget, did Bush call Queen Elizabeth ‘toots’ when she visited?<2008 “HEY POPE, You Rule. Am I Right or Am I Right? After the pope’s remarks at the White House, President Bush tells him he gave an ‘awesome speech.’ Awesome? You’re talking to the pope, not Mylie Cyrus. Score: 12.”—Newsweek, 28 April, page 12>
