The Pope and Condi Rice walk into a bar … Wait, no they don't

From Breitbart, we find out that Condi Rice’s transparent attempts to establish her Street Cred in the Middle East hit a brick wall at the Vatican gate.*
HERE is the article:
Pope Benedict XVI refused to meet US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in August, saying he was on holiday, an Italian newspaper reported Wednesday. Rice “made it known to the Vatican that she absolutely had to meet the pope” to boost her diplomatic “credit” ahead of a trip to the Middle East, the Corriere della Sera daily reported without citing its sources.
She was hoping to meet the pontiff at his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo at the beginning of August, it said.
“‘The pope is on holiday’ was the official response,” the paper said.

The Pope had to whisper, “Tell her I’m not here!” to his secretary, while waving his arms in a high panic. That’s kinda sad, Mz. Rice.
*Hang on … how does visiting the Pope establish street cred with the Middle East? This administration makes my head hurt.
Oh, that totally rocks! I’m proud of my Pope!
