Congressman Steals Pope's Water Glass

Thou shalt not steal is a pretty central tenet of the Bible.

But it seems Rep. Bob Brady (D-Pa.) couldn’t resist the temptation to swipe the water glass that touched the lips of Pope Francis.

Yes, on Thursday, while other lawmakers were distracted with the pope’s departure from the House chamber, Brady sneaked up to the lectern and snatched the glass used by His Holiness, the Philadelphia Daily News first reported.

He carefully carried the glass, still half full, back to his office where he sipped the water and then passed it around to his wife and two staffers. Later, he invited Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) to his office, who, along with his wife and mother, dipped his fingers in the water. Casey’s office confirmed this was true.

OK, I figure a GI water glass is probably worth all of 12 cents. Unless they have VIP ones in the capital, they might go for $3.00 or something.

I suppose this guy steals pens too?

Mebbe so. Had it been Ted Cruze, I'd have to resist posting "Tea party icon turns Pope's beverage into assholey water".
It's still just a souvineer either way.

I find the drinking, passing around and dipping fingers in far more disturbing than the taking of the glass.

The guy is not selfish. He is passing around this good fortune to love ones and friends. This will offer them protection from life's ills. The whole act is the essence of religion...desiring the shield of God.
