As I was reminded below, it wasn't just Nixon who harbored papal aspirations. We in the Concert Choir at Vanderbilt thought recent convert to Catholicism and Tennessee good ol' boy J.R. "Captain Bubba" Sielbeck oughta have a crack at waving the scepter.
Top Ten J.R. for Pope 2001 Campaign Slogans
10. Making *sure* he won't procreate.
9. Two words: Supercharged Popemobile
8. How well can *your* ex communicate?
7. Now there's an excuse for the hat hair.
6. Replacing bread and wine with chips and cheese dip.
5. ... because Popes don't wear yamikas.
4. Got Mary?
3. ... because necking may be a sin, but *rednecking* sure ain't.
2. Drive-through confession's been due for a long while now.
1. He's Transubstanterrific!
This also serves as the first time I offered campaign support. Also, in my defense, "Got ___?" gags were only mostly not at all funny in 2001, versus the negative funny that they rate now.

I really like #8.
Number 1 is pretty funny, but it gets really hilarious if you imagine it on a campaign poster, superimposed over J.R.'s grinning face while he gives a thumbs-up.
