what kind of crack were the cardinals smoking?

He's 78. Life expectancy for males in the US in 2001 was 77. Given that he's European, and it is not 25, life expectancy is probably 78 or 79. Which means he's already there. Why would you elect someone to become pope when they are at the end of their life? What a waste of time and money and people's emotions. There is just going to be another massive funeral that costs massive amounts of money in the next few years. Seriously...WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
He is the oldest elected since Clement XII, who was chosen in 1730 at 78, but was only 3 months older.
Benedict the 16th? Come on now... What kind of a weak ass name is that? Who wants to be the 16th? Why couldn't they have chosen a younger, more dynamic dude to be pope? He would have chosen a better name too.
And to top it off he's an ex-nazi. He's says he was "forced" to become a Nazi. No young man, growing up in war times is "forced" to be part of the war. They want to be part of it. They long for it. What a load of bullshit.
Fuck this is dumb....what a fucking waste...
