I suppose it was inevitable. After all, these little Lefty, terrorist wannabes must be getting bored of rushing the stage when Coulter or Malkin are on the stage. So they go after an old man instead.

From Town Hall:

A woman jumped the barriers in St. Peter’s Basilica and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI as he walked down the main aisle to begin Christmas Eve Mass on Thursday.

The 82-year-old pope quickly got up and was unhurt, said a Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini. Footage aired on Italy’s RAI state TV showed a woman dressed in a red jumper vaulting over the wooden barriers and rushing the pope before being swarmed by bodyguards.

At 82 years old, a fall could be quite serious, even though the Pope appears to be in very good shape for a man his age.

Benedettini said the woman who pushed the pope appeared to be mentally unstable and had been arrested by Vatican police. He said she also knocked down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who was taken to hospital for a check up.

Well, of course she is mentally unstable. She is obviously a disciple of the ACORN/SEIU School of Dissent.

Merry Christmas all.
