Leftist MSNBC host Keith Olbermann attacked NewsBusters and the Media Research Center in his "Worst Person in the World" segment on Monday night, awarding us the "Worser" prize with a typical sneer: "The nice thing about being on the opposite side of the war with the Media Research/NewsBusters crowd is they're really stupid." Olbermann singled out Tim Graham's Friday post on Nancy Pelosi hailing both the Pope and the Dalai Lama as "Holinesses." Media Matters posted on Friday that President Bush had done the same thing. Olbermann, whose broadcast often cribs heavily from that site, pounced:
Our silver winner tonight, Tim Graham, part of the little Brent Bozell witch's kitchen, known as the Media Research Center and NewsBusters. Graham, identified as the "director of media analysis," blogged about how House Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred to both Pope Benedict and the Dalai Lama as "his holiness." "At best," writes Graham, "Pelosi's promiscuous definitions of holiness just show she's more of a shallow politician than a devout Christian."
Graham apparently was unaware that when the Pope was in Washington two weeks ago, another politician addressed him as "Holy Father." And when the Dalai Lama was there last autumn, the same politician addressed him as "your holiness," and referred to him three times as "his holiness." That other politician whom Graham might observe matches Pelosi's, quote, "promiscuous definitions of holiness," and shows he, too, is "more of a shallow politician than a devout Christian"? That guy would be President Bush. The nice thing about being on the opposite side of the war with the Media Research/NewsBusters crowd is they're really stupid.
The "Worse" recipient was a Burger King executive who used his daughter's computer alias to mock tomato pickers. The "Worst" recipient was NPR political analyst Ken Rudin, who compared Hillary Clinton to the psychopathic spurned mistress of the adulterer's nightmare film Fatal Attraction.

As a matter of fact, it holds her to an even higher accountability since she should be schooling Bush on this, and not "emulating" the same behavior.
So Olbermann is throwing out nothing more than a distraction here.
That is, if Pelosi is really as devout as she says she is. One thing I learned about Catholics, they really keep track of who and who isn't spending all their time in the cafeteria. >;)

Because a Catholic Would Not Normally Do This
April 29, 2008 - 17:41 ET by PamHere is how it works for Catholics, and Nancy should know this, as she is a Catholic:
Address Deacons verbally as "Mr. Last Name"
Address Priests verbally as "Father Last Name"
If a priest has the honorary title of Monsignor, call them "Monsignor Last Name" instead of "Father"
Address Bishops verbally as "Bishop Last Name"
Address Cardinals verbally as "Cardinal Last Name" or "Your Eminence" without name
Address the Pope verbally as "Holy Father" or "Your Holiness".
Catholics address only one person as "Your Holiness" and that is our Pope.
Pres. Bush is not a Catholic, therefore, to compare him to Nancy would be kinda silly. It would be improper for Nancy to call the Dali Lama "Your Holiness"
Pam, was it improper for
April 29, 2008 - 18:28 ET by balboaPam, was it improper for Bush to refer to the pope as "his holiness"?
I don't know the rules of his Church
April 29, 2008 - 19:37 ET by PamHe is a member of the United Methodist Church. The Pope is not a member of the heirarchy of that Church. It was fine for him to call him 'sir' but I do believe it was a religious faux paus to call him "your holiness".
Since George W. Bush isn't
April 29, 2008 - 19:49 ET by GWSince George W. Bush isn't Catholic, he doesn't have to follow Catholic rules, nor is he expected to know them. So, I'd imagine he gets a pass. Pelosi, on the other hand, should have known better.

April 29, 2008 - 21:38 ET by candanceCatholics believe that God imparts some of His authority onto the priests so they can share in that respect.
Protestants take a more literal approach to that quote by saying we can't call anyone father regardless.
well bal
April 29, 2008 - 21:31 ET by candanceIt doesn't really mean you're a bad person, it's just a matter of something God prefers. Father started out as a unique word meaning something more like the supreme father of all, but has since dwindled down into meaning any man who raises children.
Not a big huge deal, but it's a simple matter of showing God that extra respect.
Ten Commandments
April 30, 2008 - 10:32 ET by Matthew BalanYou do realize the Ten Commandments are in the Bible twice? The one the Catholics use is in Deut. 5:6-21. The one that many Protesants cite is in Exodus 20. The Catholic Church didn't "rearrange" anything.
Call No Man "Father"? Only of you're a Protestant.
April 29, 2008 - 21:59 ET by CobraMan"Many Protestants claim that when Catholics address priests as "father," they are engaging in an unbiblical practice that Jesus forbade: "Call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven" (Matt. 23:9)."
"To understand why the charge does not work, one must first understand the use of the word "father" in reference to our earthly fathers. No one would deny a little girl the opportunity to tell someone that she loves her father. Common sense tells us that Jesus wasn’t forbidding this type of use of the word "father."
In fact, to forbid it would rob the address "Father" of its meaning when applied to God, for there would no longer be any earthly counterpart for the analogy of divine Fatherhood. The concept of God’s role as Father would be meaningless if we obliterated the concept of earthly fatherhood.
But in the Bible the concept of fatherhood is not restricted to just our earthly fathers and God. It is used to refer to people other than biological or legal fathers, and is used as a sign of respect to those with whom we have a special relationship.
For example, Joseph tells his brothers of a special fatherly relationship God had given him with the king of Egypt: "So it was not you who sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt" (Gen. 45:8). "
http://www.catholic....
I wonder if the apparent conflict arises because of the difficulty of translating ancient Hebrew in English. It seems to me that the Hebrews had several words for father, including one that specifically meant “God” and it's that specific word that is barred for use on man and not the general word for a male parent.
The MSM still don't know
April 29, 2008 - 20:03 ET by motherbeltThe MSM still don't know (and I doubt Her Speakerness does) that technically, the proper way to refer to a Cardinal is not "Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger" (the Pope's previous rank), but "Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger." Or at least it used to be, maybe it's changed to go with the flow of so many people mis-stating it.

Bush is wrong, too
April 29, 2008 - 17:20 ET by Tim GrahamI did not, because I did not go looking for it. I concede the Media Matters point. Bush, at least by my religious POV, should not grant "holiness" to Buddhism. Perhaps that's really hard to avoid when you're president, but I would try to avoid it.
And there is a slight difference here between Pelosi, the self-proclaimed "devout Catholic" (who should revere the Pope as the vicar of Christ) and evangelicals like Bush, who might more easily see the two religious figures as more comparable, except again for the idea that a Christian should believe that Christianity is true, and Buddhism is not. Or else you're a Unitarian.
This is a picky protocol
April 29, 2008 - 17:25 ET by balboaThis is a picky protocol thing. What else would you call the Dalai Lama? Your Lama-ness? And because you're Catholic, you get to look down your nose at "false" religions like Buddhism? Really?
Down the nose?
April 29, 2008 - 17:43 ET by Tim GrahamYes, it is a picky protocol thing, but it's the kind of thing where a devout person would step lightly. I am not "looking down my nose" at other religions, except that I do believe that the faith I have chosen is true, and that others are not true. Mine is right, the other is wrong. Sort of like the religion equivalent of Arianna Huffington's new masterpiece.

April 29, 2008 - 20:25 ET by CobraManYou can call him anything you want, but you won't be displaying that you understand what “respect” and “consideration” means if you use impolite and improper names and tags for people. You see, it's considered polite and respectful to use proper names and titles when referring to other people while in public. I guess that politeness and respect is no longer necessary in modern America. That’s a shame.
Do you share that sentiment
April 29, 2008 - 20:30 ET by balboaDo you share that sentiment with those who use "unique" ways of referring to Clinton, HRC, and Obama, or any Democrat? If so, I sure haven't seen it.

April 29, 2008 - 20:36 ET by CobraManYes, I do feel that way about everyone who doesn't use proper names and titles and I would give them the same answer if they asked me the same question you did. But, hay, since others do it, it's ok to do it yourself, right?
Well, I don't think it's
April 29, 2008 - 20:41 ET by balboaWell, I don't think it's necessary to follow some kind of naming protocol on a messageboard for presidents and other dignitaries. That's a tad formal for me. So whether it's Chimpy McHitler, BJ Clinton, etc., go right ahead. They might be tired old "nicknames," but it's fine to use them.
A tad formal?
April 29, 2008 - 20:56 ET by CobraManYou believe that the use of proper names and titles in a public setting like the comment section here is "a tad formal?" Why? This isn’t some private messing service were your messages will only be read by a select few, this is a publicly accessible website that is visited by thousands of people every day and the comments we post are displayed for anyone to read at any time. The use of proper names and titles in a public setting should be encouraged and not ignored. That's not protocol. That's just common decency.

April 29, 2008 - 21:03 ET by balboaSo why go by Cobraman and not Mr. whatever your name really is? Wouldn't that be more appropriate according to you?

Why CobraMan?
April 29, 2008 - 21:18 ET by CobraManWhy CobraMan? Because that's the alias I chose for myself. It's not improper, or even uncommon, to use an alias, that's an old tradition when publishing in public setting like books, newspapers, or even the Internet.
The point I’m trying to make is that we should use a little restraint and apply common decency when posting public comments. There’s far too much rancor and antagonism in public discussions today, especially on the Internet, and not enough civility. To often, people resort to insulting and demeaning terms and statements when referring to, or debating with, others with whom they don’t agree. That’s not how civil discussions are supposed to be conducted. It only leads to further rancor and antagonism, and that defeats the entire purpose of civil discussions and public debates, wouldn’t you agree?
I agree to some extent. I

You never asked before
April 29, 2008 - 21:44 ET by CobraMan"I've just never seen you take such a stand before on this issue"
You also never asked me what my stance is on this issue. I have asked people to use proper names and titles here before, especially when referring to the President. You probably haven't seen those posts, but they do exist. I normally don't reply to every demeaning and disrespectful post as that would take far to much time and most people would just ignore it anyways.
Personally, I try to refrain from using degrading names, titles, and statements when posting in public forums like here. I may not always be successful, but I do try to remain civil and respectful of others when in public. I think we should all lead by example and not resort to incivility simply because we know that posting under an alias gives us a certain immunity from the repercussions of our own actions.
There is a lesson that everyone needs to learn and to teach others; Personal restraint and civility is not a weakness but is, instead, an indication of the strength of our charter.

Copying Mrs. Bush
April 29, 2008 - 23:13 ET by Tim GrahamI'm sorry, C-man, I would never call the President "Bushie" to his face. I'm just using the pseudo-familiar tense, as this is the nickname Laura Bush tends to use for the man. I have observed him up close (but not talked to him) at the White House, and I like him. I would grant him respect. I wish he would have granted me an interview.

I disagree.
April 29, 2008 - 18:08 ET by sarcasmoW. couldn't politely call the Pope "Pope," and a President can't really call such leaders much else besides "your holiness," even though not all of the USA is Catholic or Buddhist. I think it's just a polite way for a politician to address anyone's religious leader.

I think it's a bit odd
April 29, 2008 - 19:56 ET by sarcasmoThat people here are so fixated on this. A US President, whether Clinton or Bush, confers no religious authority on a leader via his use of polite honorifics, IMO. I don't think it's considered polite to call them something he'd call a businessman or lawyer. Government, especially these days, is nothing even approaching holy, even though the US government does seem to be very much like a religion to me. But clearly others disagree, and politicians like Teddy (& Rudy!!) will probably keep taking communion. I'm not worried about it, since I'd never vote for either one.

April 29, 2008 - 19:49 ET by CobraManWould you refer to the Queen of England as Her Majesty even though we don't have a Queen? I would as it's the title her own subjects bestow upon her due to her position in their government. Addressing her by her proper title is appropriate and is a display of respect.
Dali Lama is His Holiness in Tibet.
April 29, 2008 - 19:31 ET by CobraManDali Lama translates to His Holiness in English. Even the Tibetans refer to him as His Holiness in English. So, President Bush was correct in referring to him as His (or Your) Holiness. Since President Bush is not Catholic, there is no conflict between President Bush's religious nomenclatures and that of Catholics like Mrs. Pelosi when referring to the Dali Lama and the Pope.
The conflict arises for Mrs. Pelosi as she is supposed to know the proper nomenclature for the members of her own religion. She is should know how to refer to others without inadvertently insulting the Church and the Pope by awarding the Dali Lama, for example, the same title that is awarded by fellow Catholics only to the Pope. I would say it's similar to a member of British Parliament referring to President Bush as His Majesty.
Granted, it’s a small mistake on her part and others as well, but it is worth noting that MB was right in identifying her mistakes.
