Earth to Mrs. Clinton?

If it is not bad enough that in the same day, Hillary Clinton was both received at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Patroness of the Unborn) in Mexico City AND by Planned Parenthood to receive the Margaret Sanger Award ...

... and taking into account her goof with the "Easy" button meant to repair relations with Russia ...

... she now wants to know, after the second time visiting the Basilica, who painted the image of Our Lady on Juan Diego's Tilma.

I love the Monsignor's answer.

DAVE the OKLAHOMILIST chimes in:

It's worse than you told us, Anthony. Not only does she go through the motions of presenting flowers to Our Lady's image and lighting a green candle, which is nice but incongruent with her Planned Parenthood award later in the day, then she walks out of the big church and tells the Mexican crowds, "You have a nice Virgin!"

(Well, yes, she is very nice, but we're kinda surprised you noticed. Maybe your headline should be: "God to Mrs. Clinton." I think she's too much in touch with the world.)

You can't help thinking: These are the professionals who were going to repair the image of the United States in the world after eight years of the "idiot cowboy from Texas"?

(By the way, if you have trouble accessing the link, try going to the CNA home page and clicking on the story from there.)

Another good review of the story can be found at GetReligion.org.
