Sec. of State Clinton's Religous Gaffe

This article recounts Sec. of State Clinton's visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadaloupe in Mexico. She brought flowers, then asked who painted the picture of the virgin Mary.

Wrong question.

You see, Roman Catholics believe that the image miraculously appeared, hence the shrine.

Good research, Mrs. Clinton.

Do you think that this would not be news if it had happened under the past administration? Of course, I don't think former Sec. of State Rice would have made such a mistake to begin with.

BTW, it's not that I believe the story told, only that if you are going to act as if someone's traditions matter to you, you ought to make an effort to understand them.
