What Would Jesus Flip?


















Devout Catholic and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, emulating Jesus, flipped the bird to reporters in Boston after they questioned him about some remarks he made in Switzerland that indicated he had prejudged a case coming before the Supreme Court. Specifically, the reporter wondered if Scalia could be impartial in cases involving the separation of church and state.

I guess it's kind of eloquent that he flipped the bird just outside his church. I mean, how much more separation could you ask for than making an obscene gesture at a holy site (ignoring, of course, the decades of child abuse at the hands of priests)?

After flipping the bird, he said, "That's Sicilian." If true, that means 200 million more Americans are bilingual than previous thought. Meraviglioso!

That's just precious.

I always suspected Scalia had pale girly hands.
What's the big deal about what he did? He was just exercising all his 1st Amendment rights at once.

Not surprising behavior for one of the highest paid politicians in the land. Whether this silly act is worthy of coverage by the networks or not is debatable but NBC and CBS sure missed it in their newscasts tonight -- and NBC mentioned Scalia's speech.
I know Sicilian, and no lil' Anton, that’s NOT Sicilian.
