Pope, popemobile “menaced” by friendly German.

The Associated Press reports that the pope was tooling around Rome today with the top down, waving at crowds, and it happened: “Man Tries To Jump In Benedict’s ‘Popemobile’“. The German guy who tried this just wanted to say hey. He–not the pope–was dressed in a pink T-shirt, dark shorts and a beige baseball cap, and wearing sunglasses. The German never made it into the popemobile, and was quickly wrestled to the pavement. Pope Benedict XVI was never in danger, was unharmed and apparently didn’t even notice the incident. WAC? waits for Hermann the German to interpret this event properly.
