Confused, As Usual

As often happens when Republicans, and especially members of the Bush Administration, open their mouths in public, I am left feeling confused. Take today, for example, when George Bush stated that John Paul II's funeral was "one of the highlights of my presidency." A funeral is your highlight, Mr. Bush? The death of the Church's link between the earthly and the divine is a highlight for a fundamentalist Texan Christian? Call me crazy, but I'm not understanding this one.
