Pope Leo XIV gifted Marco Rubio a plant of peace.

In return, Marco Rubio gave the pope a crystal football.

The pope’s response?

“Wow. Okay.”

1. A glass football is about as useful as a chocolate teapot

or a marzipan dildo. But at least he didn’t give him a pair of oversized shoes.

[Kid Berwyn]

2. Little Marco coulda put a Bears sticker on it.

Cheapskate.

Rubio.

[Gato Moteado]

5. it woulda been funnier, and more like this inept admin....

....had he put a white sox logo on it.

he could have further insulted the pontiff, a fan of the south side baseball team, had he put a cubs logo on it, instead.

[Gato Moteado]

3. what an embarrassment

[badhair77]

4. I guess he can put it in his man cave.

He and his buddies can admire it when watching football this fall.

Clueless.

6. and football in rome is soccer....

...so rubio struck out on all counts.

[Bluestocking]

7. Give the guy a break

The selection is limited at the airport duty free shop

8. The Pope:

"Wow...okay."

[Maraya1969]

9. I don't see a plant, I see a pen. What am I missing?

[yorkster]

11. I had to "look it up"...it was an olive wood pen,

olive trees being a symbol of peace. This I did not know.

[Maraya1969]

13. Oh thank you.

[applegrove]

16. 'Extending an olive branch' means peace.

[yorkster]

24. Oh, duh....my brain went to an olive tree.

Thanks. This country should stock up on olive branches. We'll need a lot of 'em after
the current occupant is out of the WH..

[applegrove]

15. The pen was made of olive wood which is the plant of peace,

as in olive branch.

[eShirl]

10. Was it filled with aftershave?

Did it say AVON on the bottom?

[LeftInTX]

17. LOL...Does it have a cord to hang in the shower?

[eShirl]

23. like Father Guido Sarducci's "Pope on a Rope"

[musette_sf]

12. Da Pope has spoke

“Wow. Okay.”

Summing up Marco’s paucity of knowledge of Chicago sports and Pope Rob’s background:

[orthoclad]

14. Sweep it for bugs.

[LeftInTX]

18. Up close, it looks like it's made out of plexiglass...

[Emrys]

19. Could have been worse.

Rubio could have given him two.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. Now picture Ka$h Patel as Secretary of State. "Since you're the Pope, you get TWO bottles!" nt

[Kaleva]

21. Trump would have gifted the Pope a Shamwow

[PCIntern]

22. The Pope would only have to pay shipping and handling
