** And Cartman's version: "Is the Pope Catholic? And making the world safe for child molesters?"

A rhetorical question used in place of "yes" when "yes" is the obvious answer to a given question.

A deviant form is to mix two such questions while pretending the answer is still "yes", like "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"
