I'm torn between laughter and incredulity.

Would you feel the same if it were the pope?

Yes -- although the Pope has some credibility behind his quasi-diplomatic
status.

I don't know what's worse -- having second-rate politicians thinking that
they're better than the rest of us, or having "men of the cloth" thinking
the same thing.

That's the story of the last 10,000 years of human history, going all the
way back to witch doctors and shamans along side tribal leaders.
