Pope Benedict is feeling good about his trade of one reprobate Catholic for two Jews to be named later.
The trade between Pope Benedict and Rabbi Shlomo Glickstein was made official when Madonna, who had the right to turn down the trade, announced herself as an “Ambassador for Judaism.”
Pope Benedict said he was thrilled to dump the high maintenance star from the ranks of Catholicism. Madonna, who has not had a hit in years, has long been critical of her own religion and even sacrilegiously appeared on a cross last year at a concert.
Some insiders are asking which Jewish performers will be traded to Catholicism in return for Madonna’s conversion. Rumors point to legendary performer Don Rickles being sent over to The Vatican along with possibly Jerry Stiller.
“It’s a win-win,” said Pope Benedict. “That Jerry Stiller. He’s a funny guy. And Don Rickles? I’m not sure about him yet. We’re still in talks.” William Shatner has also been mentioned.

I didn’t know Bill Shatner was Jewish, but I think he would definitely be a worthwhile trade. 🙂

Still a good deal if it is Pauly Shore and Rob Schneider.

I’m actually pretty sure Leonard Nimoy is Jewish. SO if we could get Nimoy and Shatner together that would be cool. I kow Ricardo Montalban is Catholic so we could even do re-creations of “The Wrath of Khan” in area church basements.

I think we should take Jon Stewart. That would give us two of the funniest guys on television. They were good together and good apart. Please, Holy Father, let’s draft Jon. He’s funnier than Madonna, and better looking, too!

Are you sure this isn’t the player to be named later from the trade where we got the original Madonna from the Jews?
