Idiot of the Day: Silvio Berlusconi

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Actually, idiot may not be the right word for it. For what the Italian prime minister said today reflected not just foot-in-mouth disease, to which he often succumbs, but mind-boggling ignorance:

I will try to help relations between Russia and the United States where a new generation has come to power, and I don't see problems for Medvedev to establish good relations with Obama who is also handsome, young and suntanned.

That's right. Berlusconi called Obama suntanned.

If he was joking, then he's a jerk. If not, then he's a narrow-minded fool.

Anything is possible with one of Europe's most corrupt and detestable leaders.
