Liberal progressives everywhere are calling for a recount. The messiah didn’t get elected pope. I guess they were smart enough not to elect an anti-christ.

World Stunned by New Pope Pick

Experts, journalists and other respectable people were astonished today when the Vatican announced its selection of a Catholic to be the next pope.

The new pope, one Jorge Mario Bergoglio who took the name Pope Francis I, is a white hispanic from Argentina, a country that became the post-World War II home of many Nazis including Josef Mengele.

Reactions to the pick ran the gamut from mild disdain to less mild disdain.

NY Times columnist Nick Kristoff tweeted “Pope Francis…sadly traditional on sexuality and contraception,” later adding “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he even believes in God or something.”

Kristoff later tweeted “Wonder how Pope Francis was involved in Argentina’s Dirty War — Catholic Church was complicit in repression?” causing one noted jour0list to observe, “The Vatican apparently didn’t do a very good job vetting this guy, not like we did with President Obama.”

Other observers were troubled by the lack of diversity in the rigidly patriarchal organization. “It appears no Muslim or atheist candidates were even considered”, sniffed MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “It’s hard to believe a religion could be so closed-minded and intolerant of new ideas.”

“The Nation’s” Katrina vanden Heuvel said the whole papal selection process reminded her “of the Communist Party” while failing to note that almost everything reminds her of the Communist Party except perhaps for the Communist Party.

President Obama offered no immediate reaction to the choice, although aides suggested the president would be happy to allow the pope to kiss his ring when Frankie makes his pilgrimage to Washington DC.

The president will also be sending the new pope a personalized iPod loaded with Mr. Obama’s speeches as a palace-warming gift. “There’s a lot of new stuff on there”, noted Jay Carney. “It’s got his 2nd term inauguaration speech and photos. It’s really cool.”
