I can't take one more minute of this non-stop

[malaise]

Pope coverage.

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Pope? Trump? Pope? Trump?

[0rganism]

9. Trope? Pump?

[villager]

2. "A Pope, a House Speaker, and a Presidential candidate walk into a bar..."

Oh, never mind.

[Glassunion]

11. Is it an Irish bar?

[villager]

12. Maybe an Argentinian *asado* joint!?

[Glassunion]

18. Ok then the punchline would be:

So the Pope says, "Well if I'd known I had a squid in my pants, I would have ordered the rice pilaf."

[xfundy]

41. That made me laugh out loud.

Thanks.

[Glassunion]

42. TBH I stole that

There was a Twitter trend a while back of punchlines with no joke. I had that favorited.

[longship]

19. A priest, an Imam, and an atheist walk into a bar...

The bartender says: "What is this, some kind of a joke or something?"

Sorry. Could not resist.

[pinboy3niner]

20. Were they looking for CNN's missing plane?

[valerief]

3. Just turn off the TV/radio/streaming stuff and make a macaroni wreath. nt

[Glassunion]

4. Ok... No more pope comments... Here is a Neil Patrick Harris picture...

Yummy guard, 2nd from the left...

[PatSeg]

5. At least we're getting

a much needed Trump Break!

[pinboy3niner]

6. You mean you're too Poped to pop?

[mmonk]

7. Yeah, whatever happended to the Trump coverage?

[WinkyDink]

17. He got a free ad, with Trump Tower shown during the 5th Avenue parade.

[Danascot]

48. Trumped by the pope

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. LOL... I miss that - pure entertainment.

[guillaumeb]

8. Is the Pope in the US? When did he arrive?

Sent from my remote bunker as I await the coming Apocalypse. Or the UN takeover of the US, whichever comes first.

[hifiguy]

57. Must be in the same neighborhood as Darth Cheney's

"undisclosed location."

[question everything]

10. Yesterday enveing we realized that we can forget about anything on MSNBC

so we watched PBS News Hour where the Pope was mentioned some and then switched to the opening concert live from Lincoln Center. We concluded that this is where the Jews probably were..

[malaise]

34. Thanks - watching now

[rogerashton]

13. No potpourri!

With acknowledgement to Ferdninand Feghoot.

[Vinca]

14. Me either. How many more days??

[MoonRiver]

15. So sick of it!! ENOUGH!

[WinkyDink]

16. I'm watching golf. Tomorrow I will watch golf and football. A few minutes of seeing the Pope wave

sufficed! Don't want to hear Mass.

[Mira]

21. That's because you miss Trump

admit it

[malaise]

24. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

NOT

[monmouth4]

26. You're gonna go to hell malaise, I betcha....LOL...n/t

[malaise]

28. Nah I'll just die like all the millions who came before us

and my ashes will be thrown into the Caribbean sea

[monmouth4]

31. Oooh, I've chosen the Atlantic....n/t

[pinboy3niner]

27. But you DO miss...

...posting "Turn on MSNBC right frigging now!"

[malaise]

29. As Lady Blah Blah would say

You Betcha!!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

22. Just pretend you're in the Middle Ages

'cause this is what it was like.

When I heard Brian Williams say "The pope has landed on US soil. It's 3:49 pm" I knew
it was going to be a long three days.

[malaise]

25. Long does not describe it and it's way past three days

Damn!!! This is madness

[bigwillq]

23. Then don't watch.

Problem solved.

[jberryhill]

30. I had never seen Ken Burns' "The West"

Been loving that. Each episode an hour and a half long, too!

[malaise]

33. I'm on PBS now

They're discussing the ReTHUG lunatics in the House

[jberryhill]

35. Have you ever thought about writing your biography?

[pinboy3niner]

32. At least we still have the Rick James thread in GD

Man dressed as Rick James robs Indiana bank
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027203373

[malaise]

38. Was that the one driving the Bimmer?

So many bank robbers -so few Rick James

[joshcryer]

36. Eh, I'm not a big fan...

...but it doesn't bother me in the least.

[AngryAmish]

37. It makes one pine for missing plane coverage.

[malaise]

39. Maybe we should start a rumor that we found a piece of 370

CNN would run from the popemobile

[7wo7rees]

40. Yep. Nothing else to say. Hear you!! nt

[mike_c]

43. haven't owned a television since the early 1990s....

Don't mind the nonstop pope coverage in the least.

[yuiyoshida]

44. Malaise my friend either turn off the TV or turn on ESPN

at least the Pope isn't highlighted throwing out the first baseball or running a touchdown..

[muriel_volestrangler]

45. Can you watch BBC iPlayer programs? If so, I can offer you lots of Cameron pig jokes

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06dpsfx/mock-the-week-series-14-episode-9

[malaise]

46. LOL

I'll try - some of these are blocked but I have good friends who help me out.

[tk2kewl]

47. The Pope is dope

[tavernier]

49. I've enjoyed the preemptive coverage

that has blocked out the Trump of Trumps.

No worries, mate. We will be back to hate and spite and the almighty dollar in a NY minute. 😄

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. LOL...Are you "poped out" ? me too - and I am Catholic ! I thought

it would be more inspiring - but I can hardly understand a single thing he says. Like on Seinfeld - a "low talker"

[Armstead]

52. Actually, I must admit I like it

I'm not a catholic, and basically irreligious, but I find it refreshing to see something besides the respite of pettiness and venality and negativity that usually infuses the airwaves.

[njlib]

53. Wish I could rec this a thousand times!

I can understand covering his speeches, but everyone was focused on a building the other day..."The pope should be coming out soon. Let's see if he'll greet the crowd". Had to be a good half hour that they were just showing a door. He came out of the building, waved, then got in his Fiat and drove off!

Like I said, I understand coverage of the visit, but it's really being overdone.

[pnwmom]

54. Then don't watch. Too bad all problems aren't that easy to solve.

[SheilaT]

55. The downside of watching conventional

TV, especially when you have a set with no off button, is that you become enslaved to whatever they broadcast.

Unless you've been shackled to a post in front of the TV with your eyes taped open, you really do have options.

[hifiguy]

56. Better Pope Frank than tRUMP.

And the pope will go home soon but Il Douche will still be here.

[Kaleva]

58. I have yet to see a minute of the Pope coverage.

As I read my news here on DU and the Yahoo homepage and am selective about what I read, I know very little about his travel itinerary.

[REP]

59. I've avoided all TV coverage and I still can't get away from that fucker
