Pope's butler arrested over Vatican documents leak Rome (CNN) -- Pope Benedict's personal butler Paolo Gabriele, seen here in 2011 looking not in the least bit suspicious, has been arrested on suspicion of leaking confidential documents to an Italian journalist, the Vatican said Saturday. The Pope Spy was arrested Wednesday for illegal possession of confidential documents found in his apartment in Vatican territory, including the sewer plans to the Vatican which may implicate him in the mysterious explosion of an incredibly cool Lamborghini right in front of St. Peter's in 2006 that may or may not be linked with the super secret Impossible Mission Force which somehow everyone still knows about. Gabriele, who has worked as the papal butler since 2006, is one of only a handful of people with access to the pontiff's private desk. His job included riding in the front seat of the "Popemobile," a vehicle used for public papal appearances (as seen in many photographs showing Gabriele with the pope) and humming Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" whenever the Pope arrived in a room. His tasks also included handing out rosaries and the alleged teeth and bone fragments of saints to dignitaries. Last month, the Vatican gave Cardinal Julian Herranz a "pontifical mandate" to uncover the source of hundreds of personal letters and confidential documents that have been released to Gianluigi Nuzzi, an Italian journalist and author of "Sua Santita" or "His Holiness," in which he published the documents. Herranz was also bestowed with the very rare "Trinity-0: License to Kill" status for the mission.
I could not help but notice that some of the best, most interesting comments from the quoted bit of the article do not appear in the article on the CNN site. Odd.
They should have sent a Vatican assassin after him. http://www.billboard.com/photos/stylus/1028699-charlie-sheen-617-409.jpg
In Chicago in the 90's, there were The Popes, Pope Salad, The Smoking Popes, and at least one other. Of course, the best band name of that era belonged to The Dyslexic Apaches.
The Pope wears Prada...and we know the "devil wears Prada"...so, does this mean that the Pope is the devil?
Back when I was in college in the early '90s at UT, there was a band that played in Austin a bunch called Fuck Emos.
Speaking of bands making sure they don't get much radio play, I was at LSU when The Shit Dogs were at their peak.
That was my guess at the time. Then I learned later that the word "emo" had another meaning, and was truly confused.
