If you're unfamiliar with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, let me be the first introduce you. Berlusconi is better known as the scandalous Media Tycoon who has shared drinks (and much more) with too many Italian women to count. He owns hundreds of businesses as well as three television stations and he's the founder of Italy's conservative political party Forza. People often refer to him as a sort of Italian Donald Trump, but I think he's got more pizzazz. He's now in his 3rd term of being elected Prime Minister, serving in 1994, 2001 and was elected again in 2006. He has also been charged with fraud and corruption and is allegedly linked to the Mafia (but who isn't in Italy?). He also has quite the mouth on him. Which brings us to today's breaking story:
An Italian newspaper is claiming that Berlusconi reffered to German Chancellor Angela Merkel as an "unfuckable lard-ass." The statement was supposedly recorded in a telephone conversation with a newspaper editor. What a gentleman!
Oh, but the two look so happy together here!
