Silvio Berlusconi's obsession with the "suntanned" U.S. President
:dunce: There isn't enough room in his mouth for all the feet he's put in it.



from the Telegraph UK:



Silvio Berlusconi calls Barack Obama tanned - again

1. He's catapulting some of his own propaganda, I see
"And we have introduced a new element into Italian politics: morality," said Mr Berlusconi, whose estranged wife, Veronica Lario, 53, has suggested that he is obsessed with chasing glamorous actresses and showgirls young enough to be his grand daughters.

Wasn't he the one we saw pictures of a few months ago at some orgy with some other naked pols and girls, girls, girls?
