Woman Tackles Pope

No, it's not Man Bites Dog, but apparently, a woman got over the barriers at St. Peter's Basilica, busted through the offensive line of clergy and sacked Pope Benedict XVI with a horse-collar-like tackle. She was arrested, the 82-year-old pontiff got to his feet, and the procession continued with no further incident. One cardinal ended up in the hospital from the melee. News reports call the woman "unstable". She said she just wanted to give the pontiff a hug.

CAPTION : "Next time, I'm just going to stay up here and hide behind the soft cushions!"

Maybe she can be in training for next year. What a riot.

Given recent months, didn't you mean "line of offensive clergy"?

Surreptitious Evil: Yeah, that too! :)
