Prime Minister Silvo Berlusconi

Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, who once sparked a media firestorm by calling himself the Jesus Christ of politics, has done it again.

From CNN:

The outspoken Italian leader appeared to be joking when he said Obama “has everything needed in order to reach deals with him: he’s young, handsome and even tanned.”

Berlusconi later said the remark was meant to be “cute” and called those who disagreed “imbeciles, of which there are too many.”

Berlusconi, 72, is infamous for eyebrow-raising comments.

I swear, I could follow Berlusconi around all day and have enough material for this site for a year.

When questioned / criticized about it today, he lost his temper and walked out of the press conference.
