Bush blows off the Pope
President Bush arrived 15 minutes late for his meeting with Pope John Paul II -- unusual for a president who makes no secret of his impatience when others keep him waiting.
Being on time is for otherpeople!
It was a rare breach of protocol in Vatican City, too, and raised eyebrows in the papal delegation.
