DRUDGE FOLLOWS THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS' LEAD: POINTS FINGER AT POPE'S SILENCE ON OBAMA'S NOTRE DAME VISIT

DRUDGE TONIGHT:

VATICAN SILENT ON OBAMA SPEECH

WE'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A FEW DAYS - AND GETTING LOTS OF FLACK FOR IT TOO!

NO MATTER: WE'RE UNAFRAID - OF CALLING A SPADE A SPADE: AND BENEDICT 16... HE'S BEEN A VERY DISAPPOINTING POPE.

AND HIS DEAFENING SILENCE ON OBAMA'S NOTRE DAME TRIP IS JUST THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLE.

PITY.

WE SHOULD PRAY HE RECOVERS SOME COURAGE.
