6. The Pope ain't a "sir."
Regardless of your religious persuasion, the Pope should be addressed as, "Your Holiness" or "Most Holy Father."

19. Regardless of your religious persuasion
you should address me as "The Most Divine Guy" but I still can't get all the people to do it, so I have to accept "sir." I doubt the Pope would be bothered by it.

2. I started watching a little late but saw the end of that exchange.
What was his problem with calling the Pope "sir"?

7. The Pope is called Your Holiness
A Head of State should know that. Either that, or Chimpy refuses to call the Pope holy, as a good old fashioned Protestant might.....

12. Remember when a reporter addressed Bush as Sir?
He chastised him and reminder Him he was Mr. President. He also referred to other world leaders by their first names. Wondered what he would have said if they called him George?

14. I remember - Shrub said "who are you talking to" in a nasty way.
He is such a puny, little man.

4. And Some People Say
That the nature of political discourse in this country has declined.

They just don't appreciate how wonderfully bright and insightful this sort of dialogue is.

10. in order to get the message across to the people
I guess they have to sometimes sink to those levels? When they use big words and drone on endlessly, people turn them off. People understand doofus.

15. Yeah...All Dose Big Words
Some folks say Americans are stoopid and ignorant. With the attention spans of about 3 seconds.

That's just sillytalk.

I even know some Americans who actually understand words with three syllables in them!

And I know some that can actually follow and understand an argument.

21. I fail to see why someone would get their pants in a knot over this.
Unless, of course, the guy being mocked is the one onto which their sympathies lie.

23. I don't know
down in the sticks in eastern Oklahoma they say it to mean the type of folk that you saw in "Deliverence." Never heard it used against minorities.
