You all know that I can’t pass up a good Berlusconi sighting. In this episode we find our hero making smooth moves at the G20, trying to work his magic on Obama, even as he continues to blame the U.S. for Italy’s economic problems and say stupid shit.
Silvio Berlusconi, Italy’s flamboyant Prime Minister, found himself on Italian front pages today – but more for his gaffe in offending the Queen at the G20 “family photograph” than his performance at the summit itself.
At the end of the G20 photo call yesterday Mr Berlusconi shouted out to the US President: “Mr Obamaaaa! This is Mister Berlusconi!”. The Queen then turned to the gathered leaders and said: “What is it? Why does he have to shout?”
Oh Silvio! Behave!
