Sarah Palin was invited to meet with the Pope while he is vacationing south of Rome in Venice.
The liberal press reluctantly watched the semi-private audience, hoping they will be able to allot minimal coverage, if any.
The Pope asked Governor Palin to join him on a Gondola ride through the canals of Venice.
They admired the sights and were agreeing on moral issues when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blew off his head and out into the water.
The gondolier started to reach for the Pontiff's cap with his pole, but this move threatens to overturn the floating craft.
Sarah waved the tour guide off, saying, 'Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry.'
She stepped from the gondola onto the surface of the water and walked out to the Pope's hat, bent over and picked it up. She then walked back across the water to the gondola and steps aboard.
She handed the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.
The next morning the topic of conversation among Democrats in Congress, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, CNN, the New York Times, Hollywood celebrities, and in France and Germany is:
'Palin Can't Swim.'

LOL, so unfortunately true--but whoever wrote the joke needs to realize that Venice is definitely not south of Rome...
