Bush 'sorry'.
Why should he be sorry - get the muppet who proofread the press kit out in front to apologise to Berlusconi.
And anyway - there's truthiness in both of these comments:
Quote:

It says Mr Berlusconi was said to be "regarded by many as a political dilettante (amateur) who gained his high office only through use of his considerable influence on the national media".
|
Doesn't Berlusconi own most of the media in Italy?
Quote:
|
He was "one of the most controversial leaders" of a country "known for governmental corruption and vice".

And the problem with that statement is what exactly???
I know it's not exactly diplomatic - but it's good for a laugh and I'm sure the journos were yakking it up.
The online version of the
Encyclopedia of World Biographies doesn't seem to have Silvio - perhaps they were using a book.
You think they'd just supply a
link to wikipedia.
