Additional reports of secret meetings with Pope Francis have emerged in the last day. First, the Vatican confirmed that Kentucky clerk Kim Davis had indeed met with Francis but would not confirm whether Francis thought her eyes looked “a little bit off.” In line behind Davis for an audience was presidential candidate Jeb Bush. The pope and the scion of the Bush line briefly discussed the state of Jeb’s campaign, and the pontiff attempted to console the would-be president by saying, “Stuff happens.” Waiting behind Bush was US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, who was pushing a large hand truck on which was balanced a GBU-24 Paveway III laser-guided bomb.
