Pope Benedict XVI's D.C. Popemobile Ride in Photos
Pope Benedict XVI took to his popemobile after meeting with President Bush at the White House this morning. The pontiff, who is celebrating his 81st birthday today, rode west beginning around noon on Pennsylvania Ave. through Washington Circle before heading north on Rock Creek Parkway before exiting at Massachusetts Ave. to arrive at the Vatican embassy. A large, enthusiastic crowd of about 10,000 gathered to cheer on the Pope as he rode by, rather swiftly we might add. People waved flags, played and sang music and held large signs welcoming Benedict to the United States. And then it was over almost as quickly as it began. (Sommer Mathis/DCist)

I wonder if the angels wanna wear his red shoes?
Thems some snazzy shoes.
Love the shoes.
We're at the beginning of the movie when Dorothy house hasn't landed yet.

anyhow, are those Pope Crocs?
Why do all the popes slump? I've never seen one sit up straight in a chair or seat...
"Popemobile"? There's some faith in action for ya.

Note the progressive posture of Palpatine in the Star Wars movies.

Well, they do wear those big-ass hats a lot...
Maybe it takes a toll on the posture?
I love me some red Prada loafers!! It's a brilliant "fuck you" to the poor!

Years and years of bending over to suck 5 year old cock.
The fact that the pope chooses to ride around in a bullet-proof popemobile is direct evidence that there is NO GOD. Even the pope knows it's BS.
"German shepard"!!! LOLz!
You know Manys, I didn't want to go for the obvious crack. But your comment shows how wrong I was.
Never miss an opportunity to remark on 5 year old cock.
I still think they should have used the popemobile for the torch run last week.
manys, you are hilarious!!!
Tweety, I never thought of that, but oh so true. Maybe the God believers think that Satan would have his believers kill the pope?
"5 year old cock" we've reached a new low - congrats peeps. I've finally been out done.
Heading back to the cave now to craft wittier, darker material...
@manys-- you made my day and it was so easy.
As much as I love the red Papal shoes I like it more when he's not wearing that shoulder cape and is instead wearing one of the three versions of his mozzetta. In the summer it's red satin, in the winter it's red velvet trimmed with white ermine fur and during Easter it's the Paschal mozzetta which is white damask silk trimmed with white fur.
He's just one more fashion accessory away from looking like Liberace.
Well, manys's comment offends me, and I'm not even a very good Catholic. Loved sissa's comment, though. Didn't have to go to the gutter for that one.
there's no place like home. there's no place like home. there's no place like ...
If you're not offended, you're not paying attention!
What is this "News Paper" of which you speak?
A wink to manys. Child-molesting priests are admittedly far more offensive than your remark.
