"George W Bush's protocol handlers have notified South

Block that the American President's deep belief in his

born again faith precludes his visiting Mahatma

Gandhi's Samadhi at New Delhi's Raj Ghat -- during his

forthcoming visit to India.

 

When asked -- by reporters on a recent trip aboard Air

Force One -- if he will be breaking a decades long

tradition of foreign dignitaries visiting India paying

respect to the Father of India, Mr Bush, as is his

wont, was caught off guard and mumbled something about

how the Gospel of Jesus Christ views cremation as a

pagan practice"

 

 

ridiculous and utterly stupid thing to say, but

nothing Gee Dubya says surprises me any more..hey Mr.

Bush..Raj Ghat is not the same thing as visiting a

Hindu temple..he's MAHATMA FREAKING GANDHI!! the

Father of the Nation..what George Washington or

Abraham Lincoln is to the USA..get a life! I guess

Jorge's born again Christianity would kill any idea of

him getting Ammas' darshan..much as I would love to

see it happen.
