Michael thanks for watching. John fugelsang and viewpoint are next and right now. [ music ] john its sequestration week and even the guy who made amore calls it, too depressing. Hardcore gun owners, people taking away their guns and Second Amendment rights standing up to protest against things that arent remotely being taken away from them. And Michelle Obama on the oscars. Today is the 70s birthday of george hair on it. Well have fbomb about george, the van vatican and today the top catholic in britain, a pie joss scott pretty much excommunicated himself for hitting on someone whose name was not mary. This is viewpoint. [ theme music ] john good evening, im John Fugelsang. Thank you so much for joining us. Its the biggest game of chicken since the hast Time Congress and the president dueled eyetoeye over mountain. And in just four days the federal government could pull some 85 billion in spending out of 2013 budget forcing layoffs and programs cuts and perhaps pushing the country back into recession. The president and his cabinet want you to know that no one will be spared when budget sequestration comes knocking. Today mr. Obama told the nations governors at the white house gathering what he has been telling the rest of us for week. Thousand was teachers and educators will be laid off. Tens of thousands of parents will have to deal with finding child care for their children. Hundreds of thousands of americans will lose access to primary care and Preventive Care like flu vaccination and cancer screenings. John but wait, theres more. Janet napolitan the cuts will Basket Mission readiness throughout her department including customs agents on the border. Our busyiest airports like newark and jfk and lax and ohare peak wait times which can reach over two hours could easily grow to four hours or more. John however House Majority leader eric cantor isnt buying into the white house warnings of doom. This is a false choice. John cantor and House Speaker john boehner want the president to work with them on legislation replacing the sequester which they all designed and passed as a trigger which i say trigger please. Even though they refuse as a matter of principles to agree to any changes in the tax code that would bring more revenue into washington, d. C. Which would be a prerequisite for any deal with the president and senate democrats, so no deal. Meanwhile, our nations governors, including republicans bobby jindal of louisiana and utahs gary herbert arent pleased there hasnt been any progress in averting sequester. The reality is this has going from crisis to crisis. If i dont get as a results in my state im criticized. Were not getting results in washington, d. C. Because of lack of leadership and there is blame to go around for everybody. John yeah but there is one group who seems to be happy with washingtons gridlock, Tea Party RepublicanTim Huelskamp of kansas who told washington post, i quote this will be the first significant tea Party Victory in that we got what we set out to do in cranking washington. No, this is the third tea Party Victory. For more on the stalemate on capitol hill, im thrilled to be joined by congressman peter welch, democrat of vermont thank you for joining us. Thank you. John i can only imagine what the mod is in washington, d. C. Is there any hints that a deal could be done to postpone them until a deal could be made . There really arent. We were gone last week when we should have been here working on it. Essentially you have two things going on. One, a stupid policy in stubborn approach is the substitute for an economic agenda. Secondly, there is a few among the Tea Party Folks that you just mentioned that any cut at any price is good for the country. And it makes no sense. The two challenges the country have one get our economic recovery moving along at a faster clip, bring down unemployment. The second is to get our longterm debt stabilized and reduced. But you do not do that with these acrosstheboard mindless cuts that are going to have a lot of harm and a lot of pain for a lot of people, but its going to do damage to the economy. This makes no sense whatsoever. John it makes sense if you consider some of these republican legislatures just want to be reelected and say i stood up to the president , hes suffering and now its his fault. When they put their position above the countys economic wellbeing. Well, that is the president obama. Its not an economic vaned agenda that makes any sense. There is no economist conservative or liberal who thinks going across the board mindless approach makes any sense whatsoever. All were going to do is get cuts weaken the economy increase unemployment, and then these agencies that government will not have had an opportunity to even exercise managerial adjustment on how best to do it. This is the manufacturing crisis by congress, and once again were letting down the american people. John now we could agree this all began because the jon refused to raise the debt ceiling, however here is the big question, congressman, is the white house to blame along with the Republican House for this crisis . Did the president make a mistake when he tried to use cuts in the military budget to bring the house and republicans to the bargaining table . That is a tactical decision that the white house made. I think the blame game gets us nowhere. You are right, this all happened when we were on the brink of doing something that america has never done in all of history that is default on our debt. The president had to find a way out of that. This sequester was a hail mary pass. It moved us down. It got us out of the debt ceiling crisis, which far worse than this, but it left us to deal with the sequester situation which is also very bad. The bottom line you have to have a balanced approach. If were going to make cuts there are places we can make cuts, and there are reforms we can make in healthcare. Those have to be thoughtful like managers do in running a business. This across the board showmanship and brinksmanships damaging for the economy and peoples confidence in their own government. John as you mentioned we did have an election although it seems that the republicans are not aware of who won. Which makes me ask considering considering that theyre still not budging on anything, would we have been better off sir if we would have gone over the fiscal cliff last below . No, i dont think. I think the president got a reasonably good deal. We did not solve all of our problems, and there is not going to be a movement where we solve it all, it will be a long thing. But the fiscal cliff is where the white house did a good thing. We did get revenues and we avoid avoided draconian cuts that could have been damaging. The Republican Caucus is determined to get cuts at any price, thats a foolish approach. What youre going to see as this unfolds is the harm will become evidentthe harm to the economy will become evident and there will be reaction. Weve already seen the market getting spooked today with the largest drop in the dow over the last couple of months. John they seem to think that the sequester is a tea Party Victory. Does that mean that the tea party are arguably calling the shots in the house . Well, they do in some ways. The republicans are split between what i call practical conservatives and Tea Party Folks who essentially have as an agenda not cutting the budget but undermining constitutions in government. They think we ought to get rid of it. The republicans need those tea party votes to get something passed. So they basically have the power of no. John congressman peter welch, congressman of vermont. Thank you. Thank you. John im joined by president of the ceo of better markets and sam cedar host of ring of fire and majority report. Good evening. Good evening. John what is going to happen friday ill start with you dennis, every month a new disaster could be avoided. I think this months disaster fight will play out on friday. Its hard to see a solution coming by friday. The problem this time is the president is playing it like the 84 Government Shutdown, only there arent going to be shut downs. On saturday there are not going to be hundreds of workers fleeing their offices. Over a period of time there will be cutbacks in a variety of areas. They will be bad. Theyll hurt people. But i think part of the problem theyre overplaying their hand and people will not quickly see and feel a big punch. They may be building themselves up for a fall if theyre not careful. John is that because he has less access than gingrich did . No, part of it is because the cuts are rolled in. You may not even see the implications of these cuts for a month, say airports. Its not where all the services will stop seeing. Youll see a slow degradation of our government services. Thats a harder thing to make an example of. It may take a couple of months before theres enough pain that is obvious to people and i say the planes because frankly its a question of whether or not the media pays attention. Theyre going to be far more conscious sitting on a tarmac for 30 minutes when they have to fly somewhere then kids in virginia who are not getting their School Lunches because of cutback. John it seems more likely well face this happening on friday well go off the the latest cliff rather than hitting the snooze alarm. It will be punted because the Monthly Budget cries in crisis in the end of march to fund the government. We spent all of january to worry about the fiscal cliff. Now we which are worry about the is he fesssequestercliff. Its not like he has a dumb boogeyman like Newt Gringrich helping president clinton out of the hole. Theyre playing offense poorly. I know what well do. Well run the playbook that played out a couple of decades ago, well its not going to work. John there was obama sequester tag hashtag is he right . Who is going to win the political fight on this . Have the republicans succeeded in branding this as obamas failure . My sense is no. The republicans are going to get the blame for this. The question is what is the this . Are people going to be able to make the connection between a slow diminishment of services. You know, we wont recognize the fact that the nih is going to cut out grants for new scientists for years theoretically. It may not be something that were ever going to be aware of unless its something that directly impacts you. I think it will be difficult. But over time this will impact the economy. The president at the very least is doing a good job pointing to the republicans and saying its their fault. The real question is does the American Public really absorb what it is that theyre blaming the republicans. John and does the the American Public even care . The fatigue is so huge, people are just so over it. That makes me wonder did obama over play his hand on this . Did he think yet again lucy is not going to pull the football away . I dont know if he over played his hand or played iter poorly. You have the republicans playing games with the Credit Rating in january. Now theyre playing games with our economy, which is fragile and barely into a recovery and its not much of a recovery for the unemployed and under employed. Now well face a Government Shutdown next month. Why hasnt the president gone on offense instead of defense. Sam is right. Many americans will not feel what is going to be happening for a long time. And those that do it will be largely localized. Theyre not going to be ready to vote no. The governmentthe president really should go on the offensive about what it is that the government is doing. Cutting medicare and Social Security and medicaid sounds great but its the greatest Antipoverty Program in the history of the world. Thats what they want to cut. John it sounds great to some people in the tea party but i agree with you the democrats are seemingly the human punching bag on this again. I want someone to say one thing on this, ronald reagan, you dont have Growth Without public spending. The real mistake happened in the debtraise the debt ceiling hostage taking in 2011. The next mistake was at the beginning of this year. The democrats had all the leverage. The tax rates were going to go up. Sit back and do nothing let the leverage grow. This punt, essentially again the issue isi think the president is doing a decent enough job now to get some political value out of this, but i dont know that the American Public is really going to understand the implications of this for too many months down the road or maybe even years down the road. This president was just reelected. The democrats picked up two seats nine seth in the senate. Where is the agenda . Lets get the president back to what he was elected to do and wants to do. Instead were playing defense on irresponsible, mindless politicians who are driving him into a defense game rather than offense game. Considering that over 80 of the bush tax cuts became permanent after the fiscal cliff deal, we do need more revenue rather than being a punching bag for republicans. Im frustrated. It seems more and more like a good copbad cop game. I hope you can make since of this because im not sick of talking about it. Dennis kelleher and sam seder great to have you back on the program. One of the president s none policies, its real and its coming up next. Hey, im joey aragon. See that film . People call me about this every day. My dishwasher must be broken. You know, its not always the machine. It may be the detergent. Add finish power up to boost your detergent and youll see a huge difference. Watch what it can do. Look at that sparkle now thats clean cloudiness spots tough stains even dishwasher buildup gone just like that so dont give up. Add finish power up. Wow see the difference its a must have [ lisa ] my names lisa, and chantix helped me quit. I honestly loved smoking and i honestly didnt think i would ever quit. [ male announcer ] along with support chantix is proven to help people quit smoking. It reduces the urge to smoke. It put me at ease that you could smoke on the first week. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of depression or other Mental Health problems which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. If you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. With chantix and with the support system it worked. It worked for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. John welcome back to viewpoint. Its time for our thing of the day. And its the cool, cool ironry of the day. As you know sequester will cause cuts in spend. We happen to have this map from the last election. Notice how it shows which states voted democratic and which states voted republican. Here are the ten states are had a hardest hit by the sequester cuts. Eight out of the ten are red states. Now the point is not that red states tend to take more to the federal government than they give back. Thats been established. My point is this, the republicans have been less willing to compromise and they are the ones making the sequester necessary. The republicans represent states that will clearly suffer the most. Why dont you think about that when you hit the voting both in 2014. Well i hope everyone had a great day of resistence. Whats that . You forgot to celebrate . Thats too bad. You messed one hell of a time. This saturday marked the teaparty backed day of resistence when hardcore gun lovers were directed to take to the streets to protest the completely fictional confiscation of their guns by the tyrannical government voted by the free and Fair Elections in a democratic country. And of course most participants came armed with more than signs. Meanwhile, in the real world if you you can ever call washington, d. C. That, proponents of sensible gun control learned that the House Judiciary Committee will take up many of their bills including Dianne Feinsteins assault weapons ban the controversial one. This marks the first real step in getting the senate to vote on legislation that a majority of americans say they want. Joining us now to discuss the state of the gun control debate is the one and only, brilliant thomas frank columnist for harp pers magazine, who wrote an it was nating piece titled bloodsport in this months issue. He is the author of pity the billionaire the hardtimes swindle and the unlikely comeback of the right. Thomas, thank you so much for coming on the show. How are you tonight. Im dynamite. I had a great day of resistance. I resisted pretty much the whole thing so i guess i win. What do you make of the argument that we cant have sensible gun laws in this country because then the country has a tyrannical government that will try to enslave its citizens . Well, if thats the case your ar15 is not going to help you very much. Youre going to have to have something bigger than that because youre going to be going up the u. S. John drones . Yes artillery pieces tanks i dont know. F 102s, something bigger than that. John i will have a right to tanks and anthrax, go on please. So sensible regulations on assault weapons are really not going to change the odds one way or another in the coming showdown between your local militia and the u. S. Army. John you have a quote in the article that i believe youll catch heat for. Quote, i believe the ideology of libertarianism with its twin gods of market and mangum are not just bankrupting us, its killing us. If that is the case how do we push back on that ideology . Lets go back and think about it. Its a really interesting situation where were just coming out of this financial crisis. I wrote the book about the financial crisis, the Tea Party Movement and reaction. Pity the billionaire where you have a financial disaster brought about by deregulation. What do they say . Bring more deregulation. Get completely out of the picture, and everything will be fun. Thats the same with the guns. Massacre after massacre after massacre what is the response . Get more guns. Make life into one giant arms race like dodge city in the wild west days. Then finally, when everyonethe last person is armed to the teeth, then well be safe. John true treatment and we can give somalia a run for their money. Here is a thing he have i have to ask you about. You write that the american Film Industry is the second great pillar of the gun culture. Can you explain this and what role you think hollywood plays in our culture of violence . Its an advertising agency. There is an amazing thing that i discovered in the course of writing this story. Its an internet firearms movie database. It goes through like all these recent movies of the last 20 years, frame by frame, telling you which particular weapon that appears in the movie what the make is, the model how its used, who it kills, who uses it, so on like this. And this gun fetishization. This was the first clueno, it isnt. Ive been going to movies all my life. But you look at how they depict guns and as theftize estheticize the guns. There is a tommy gun and its being fired and there is slow motion on the action of the gun the tinkling of the brass casing tinkling on the marble floor, and the slow motion of heads being blown apart this kind of thing. Itsitsits gun porn. John while its gun porn, its make believe gun porn. Other countries have the same violent movies and violent games but because of regulation they dont have the same problems that we have. You take Something Like zero dark thirty and you show it in japan, its still an advertisement for torture. Its still bad art. Yeah, the other thing is, yeah, thats absolutely right about the guns. We have the guns. This is the problem. Theyre showing these constant ads for the guns and you can run out and get one. John by that same logic would someone see zero dark thirty and go out and water board a citizen . They cant do that in japan. Its against the constitution. John i think we made our arguments. I do believe that Wayne Lapierre bears a responsibility for the massacre culture. Can you elaborate on that. Absolutely. The whole idea of the nra 20 years ago when they were making their big turn to the rightim sorry im old, its more like 30 years ago, its about stopping crime. All of thesethe idea of the vigilante, the dirty harry type, none of these people who are out there shooting up these schools you know, none of these people are the classic nra villain types. They dont have a robbed. Its the opposite, people on delusional revenge fantasy precisely what you see in nra culture. John thomas frankcal almostist for harpers magazine. Thank you so much for your time and insight tonight. Absolutely. John what is america talking about . Political families and our nonpolitical oscars, more coming up. Save them. Woolite everyday cleans your jeans and wont torture your tanks. Woolite washed clothes look like new, longer. The bar harbor bake is really worth trying.

Thats a bit prejudices, and your body poured prejudice over your face. This is a democrat from brooklyn.

Well, today everyone is talking about oscars, but viewer ocular nervosa tweeted i didnt watch the oscars but i cant help but notice todays chatter has nothing to do with the movies. Well, you make a good point but i have a very important question, when you posted that tweet who were you wearing . If you have a comment for the show tweet us as viewpoint ctv or John Fugelsang or use the hashtag viewpoint or post it on our facebook. Last night tense of millions tuneed in to watch the Academy Awards where the most popular people on earth have the annual popularity contest. The only controversy are what some are calling the inappropriate jokes of seth macfarlane. Much of the controversy comes from a musical number from the mcfarlane and the l. A. Gay mens core husband performed owe we saw your boobs. As matt philbin told the managing editor of the conservative nonprofit the culture and Media Institute told fox news. Com, quote the we saw your boobs song was juvenile. A valid point, and i can see how some people would be offended by the song. And then, quote and then finishing it off with the l. A. Gay mens choir would have invited some questions from a nineyearold id prefer not to have to answer. God for bid youd have to have a conversation with your nineyearold about homosexuals singing. Joining me now is Alison Bailes and michael musto. Seth macfarlane, did he pull it off. He made Tommy Lee Jones laugh. There is redemption its nice to hear the word inappropriate used for something not involving the vatican. John thank you. As for the nineyearold and the gays, they would have turned gay with the chicago and dream girls tribute. John what about you. I didnt like the tony he is awards. It didnt have a place. Why are we caring about chicago. Other than that, john thats the first controversy i want to get to. I was curious about the musical stuff as well. Les mis. They made a movie. Theyre going to do a number. I dont think les p mis oh should have the platform that the other films didnt. They were just doing a strong. I thought it was too much l les meis. But she killed it though. John i want to go back to what you said a second go about the performance of chicago its great that theyre honoring a film that they honored ten years ago. Because of the producers. John the producers are the same producers of the same film. Lets honor a movie that won ten years ago. Catherine zeta jones did win. Lets go back to the sound of music. Did he a sound sound sound sound sound sound of music joke. There were great music musical numbers. John it was only from the last ten years. The awards from apolitical. After months, argo, django, lynn on. The political stuff happens behind the scenes. Zero dark thirty talked in all the awards but sound editing or sound mixing. We dont even know. I could tell you. It got half of an award because they dared to say water barring might have had something to do with finding bin laden. John but they were winning all the critics awards for film of the year. It was in the lead to win everything. It was the frontrunner and then it nose dived. John is this because of a moral society that rejects torture, even in cinema . No, the film was tainted and no one wanted to touch it. John the realism of argo, which is activate factual it won inside. Argo is about hollywood. Its not about the hostage its about hollywood. If all was forgiveen about binladen then zero dark thirty might have a chance. Django didnt pretend to be a documentary. Argo didnt pretend to be a documentary. John and it had heavy state department influence as well. I was happy to see them win but Quentin Tarantino won for dow django after using the n word. All that criticism that came out, it ended up being a good thing. One of the things that i wanted to do was i wanted to start a conversation about slavery about americas role in it. John i thought it was the most shockingly antislavery film ever released by a studio. Ite roused such emotion in the viewer. Do you think its vindicated from the critics in this win. Absolutely. It does not take a leap of intellectualism to say that the use of the n word is racist but it was about racism. But if he made a film without the n word. Where is the realism. John Michelle Obama presented the award for best picture. Is it appropriate for heads of state to be involved in award shows like this. I dont think so. Well listen, i still love the queen. Im elton john. I just think it was really wrong. The reason it was wrong it took time away from Jack Nicholson. You get Jack Nicholson on stage presenting the award. I was looking forward to hearing that speech. Then he lets michelle take it away. I think it was her audition to host next year which i hear shes going to do with melissa mccarthy. Its going to be very dignified. But approaching the movie arena is that oprah is off the air. She used to be the one who would give the benediction. Now she would be touting her herpompoms for lincoln. Now we need clinton at the golden globe. Michelle obama at the oscars. Come back oprah. John it was good to see rush limbaughs head explode when she gave an award that gave jimmy carter the heroes. I think she would have prefer preferred zero dark zero dark thirty. John if his the president gave the order and his wife gave the award. Some would have cried. Thank you so much for being on the show. My panel of none experts joins me next to talk about the jokes and Michelle Obamas shoulders coming right up. John we just heard from critics about the oscars. Now lets hear what the comics have to say. Joining me are my panel of nonexperts. Politico median scott blakeman. Musical comedian Katie Goodman. And comedian and author lee camp whose new moment of clarity web show can be seen at youtube. Com slash moment of clarity show. I love all of your work, youre all very funny and i would say that even if i hadnt done an offbroadway show with you. What is your view of the oscars. Im thrilled were talking about it. I didnt waste four hours of my life last night. My view, as you said earlier in the segment,age i watching the tony awards . Is that the real emotion . Its not the way oscars should be going. What they did not do, you have to celebrate the movies. That didnt happen. The highlight to me was shirley here is this veteran 45 years later after killing it with gold finger, brought down the house. And here is a veteran who knows what shes doing the oscars need to go back to that, embrace the movies celebrate the movies and not do this desperate thing of being edgy for no apparent reason. John lets talk about edgy for no apparenten. Take away was when my tenyearold son turned to me and said do all the academy Award Winning women have to show their boobs . That set the nine. John wow. He got it. John you know, what about seth macfarlane. The wrap on it is that people are terribly offended although no one i know. There was a beast on daily beast knows no one who was offended by seth macfarlane. Dont we do this every year . Dont they invite them back every time. Everyone is so offended. They want people offended. They want people talking about it. John it work ford ricky worked for ricky gervais. He made a movie about a stuffed animal that was banging a sales clerk this is not surprising that he was edgy . John i think over all he was well received. They hired a shocking guy and they got somewhat controversial topics. Then me mix it with Old School Musical thing. And again the chicago, the avenger segment, i dont know where that went. Seth macfarlane is an amazing talented writer. He has got a great voice tremendous singer, but i just dont think it should be aboutit toed should be morenot old school but reverence towards the trade to respect movies and honor movies. John now the human magazine, the onion apologized at some length after sending out a satirical tweet calling the nineyearold actress the cword. It is supposed to be irreverent. You know what the tweet was. Is there any place for this . I dont think anyone reading the tweet thought that. They know its a joke. Shes a very nice child. Shes so incredibly adorable. John its a joke about back biting and hollywood gossip. Thats what i took it to be. Yeah, some people may not have found it funny but i dont know if we should be freaking out that its the end of the world. Thats what is troubling we seen it with the daniel tosh rape jokes and in this case a joke that missed, and it was offensive but it was not funny. Instead of saying hey, did you like fugalsangs joke or katiewhy i had no such joke. If that would happen. I actuallyim going get a lot of comments on facebook. I thought it was hilarious little joke. The thing is you dont tweet that there are a lot of things john shes so sweet. Its the onion anyone offended by a joke with a c word and a nineyearold, i learned about the c word from a nineyearold. You have to be funny with it. And twitter might present pitfalls, what is not funny in 120 characters can be funny. I find that it takes 145 characters to make the c. Word funny. John one of the controversy last night did not look controversial. Michelle obamas dress. It was too racy for our friends in iran. Here is our first lady in a glittering sleeveless gown. And here is how she looked in iranen newspaper. According to iranian law her shoulders were covered. Is the iran thing ridiculous or are we . I think its michelles designer will sue and will be upset. They have every right to do that. People in iran have access to the internet and could find sources john i agree. People in iran know what kind of government they have. The hast time i remember a woman being photo shopped in a photo, is photo shopping out hillary clinton. Its great to see the jews getting along in iran. They dubbed over boobs and put wrists. John did they really . In iran and the oscars, argo and in were sexual representations in the film that people in iran and elsewhere should rightly point out. John at least they didnt say anything slutty like ankles. After the break will we look at the Catholic Church fall apart . With the years Largest Selection of mouthwatering lobster entrees. Like our delicious lobster lovers dream, featuring two kinds of succulent lobster tails. Or our savory, new grilled Maine Lobster and lobster tacos. Its back, but not for long. [ woman ] our guests go crazy for lobsterfest. My favorite entree is the lobster lovers dream. Whats yours . Come celebrate lobsterfest and sea food differently. John with the back to my question. What shocks you any more. My dating world the world in general nothing shocks me. John Katie Goodman what still shocks you. I was shocked that argo won with a white hero rescuing white people for a change. John wasnt that refreshing . And lee. When people laugh at larry the cable guy. When theyre deciding to frack here in new york state and it shocks me that people believe its going to be safe when theyre not told what the chemical is that is being pumped into the ground, where it is, what it does. None of that testing goes on. But it will be safe. John i agree completely with you, and new york will have to learn a couple of bad lessons before things get better. Which brings me to tonights fbomb. Cardinal keith obrien is abruptly resigning amidst allegations of inappropriate acts. I thought oh, my god not again letting your son be an an altar boy is like letting your daughter date chris brown for the second time. But hes making sexual advances against fully adult priests. In this point is seems hitting on someone who is old enough to shave. Once again a catholic who says hit the sin love the sinner is revealed to hit the sinner but digs the sin. Now obrien is out. This means he wont be able to vote for the new pope at the papal enclave Cardinal Mahoney who protected the priests and mored them. Add this to reports of widespread corruption within the
