* presents gift to Pope

Maybe Benedict would have preferred cash.

Pope Benedict XVI smiles as he holds a walking stick presented to him by President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush Saturday, June 9, 2007, during their visit to the Holy See. The walking stick, created by a former homeless Texas man, is adorned with the Ten Commandments in multiple colors. White House photo by Eric Draper

1. The pope shoulda...

...whacked little Georgie over the head for going with the cheapest gift he could find from (presumably) low-cost labor. Not to mention the commandments that the Chimperor has violated ("Thou shalt not kill," Bushler, Bushler, anyone, anyone?).

2. I can think of a much more appropriate place the Pope should put that stick.

5. Here ya go, Pope

I figure, you could bash some Jews with this, and when you got tired of that, you could replace the one up your ass with the new one.

7. DimSon got tired of tripping over it and choking on his pretzels.

Rove's eyes glowed red every time he was in the same room with it. Cheney kept trying to load and aim it. It was time for it to find a better home, like someone who has about a kajillion copies of The Ten Commandments could really make some use of it since he needs inspiration.

8. Pope:

Is this a recreation of Moses' walking stick that turned into a serpent?
