Boyd K. Packer (the Mardinal) and Gordon B. Hinckley (the Mope) Mentioned Last Night on the Colbert Report

submitted by by johndehlin

Transcript follows:

“Before we start tonight, a rare correction is in order. On Thursday I identified Boyd K Packer as the President of the Mormon Church…or as I call him, the Mormon Pope, or ‘Mope’. He is not. He is the current Acting President of the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church.

That would make him something like a Mormon Cardinal… or Mardinal. Apparently the real Mope is ‘Gordon B Hinckley’. Got the job in 1995, but he can’t be doing all that great of a job if I don’t know who he is.

So time for Hinckley to go! See, rather than retract my statement misidentifying Boyd K Packer, I’m calling on the Mormon Church to issue a correction by making Boyd K Packer the Mope. [cheering in audience] And make Packer’s Mopeship retroactive as of last Thursday.

That shouldn’t be a problem for you Mormons. If you can retroactively baptise George Washington, you can retroactively make me look right!”
