The Italian Prime Minister has been blasted for his blundering welcome of the US president-elect after he praised Barack Obama's "suntan".

Silvio Berlusconi made the comment at a joint press conference with Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev.

"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 handsome, young and suntanned," he said.

Somebody put this fucking idiot out of his misery. Why do Italians keep electing him!??!?!

Are you so sure he is elected with Italy being one of the more corrupt countries in Europe ?

I have to admit I lol'd

He's honestly not doing himself any favours though, 1) He's doing it whilst doing a joint conference with Russia, which is public enemy #1 in the USA. And 2) Obama is going to be president y'know...

Sil has made loads of racist remarks like that, the guy is a prick. He isn't even running Italy well either

Because Italy is the most right wing country in Europe?

Not really - it's the most split down the middle unstable country in Europe. No government lasts more than two years.

Read this on the metro on the way to uni this morning. It still amazes me that world leaders who are supposed to have a level of intelligence or at least common sense still come out with retarded comments like this, what a fucking joke.

I was going to post it, but ya beat me to it.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

"But the Italian leader, who himself sports a suntan, hit back at his critics - accusing them of not having a sense of humour."

He seems to think it was.

It's like making a joke about slitty eyes when referring to Japanese or Chinese people. It's the equivalent of the 'Me so solly' Krusty the Clown routine.

Bush, Tug Benson out of Hotshots, Boris Yelstin - buffoon political leaders: Bush was the one who sprung to mind most immediately.

I remember when me and some dorm friends were playing football at night with a glow in the dark ball and when it went out we asked the black guy to open his mouth so we could see. Skin color jokes aren't always in and of themselves racist.

So...is Bush on record making pseudo-racist comments about other world leaders (or soon-to-be)?

No?

Then just how does this show this guy and Bush are at all alike?

Unintentional blundering while public speaking. I don't actually think Berlusconi is a racist - he just made a 'Bushism'.
