What MSNBC missed: a well-deserved “double shot” as Francis’s  plane prepared for takeoff.

As all the experts and reporters were speaking, Pope Francis took a visible window seat on the plane.  He looked out on the crowd; a camera fixed on him.

He poured water from a bottle into a glass.  Visibly, he poured one of those little liquor bottles in his glass, then another.    He then tossed it down quickly.

If anybody deserved a “double,” he did.

(I didn’t see whether he had to give the attendant his credit card.)
