I only know Bill Donohue's name, but I like him already

In this story from Fox News, we learn Madonna's plan to stage a mock crucifixion on stage isn't going over so well in Rome. I can't imagine why.

" 'To crucify yourself in the city of the pope and the martyrs is an act of open hostility,' Cardinal Ersilio Tonini was quoted as saying in La Stampa daily on Wednesday. 'It's a scandal created on purpose by astute merchants to attract publicity.' "

Here's where it gets good:

" 'Knock off the Christ-bashing,' Catholic League president Bill Donohue said in a statement. 'It's just pathetic.' "

Pathetic indeed, Mr. Donohue. But oh-so original.
