Introducing the leader of the European Union

I love this guy, he makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I have no point to make, just wanted to share these pearls of wisdom from a self made man with the self-esteem of a pitbull.

I'm talking about Silvio Berlusconi, the present 'president' of the EU. EU has a revolving leadership where a country has the presidency for six months, Italy and Silvio Berlusconi will stay until January.

Quote:
"Mussolini never killed anyone. Mussolini used to send people on vacation in internal exile."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Schulz, I know there is a producer in Italy who is making a film on the Nazi concentration camps. I will suggest you for the role of kapo. You'd be perfect."

Regarding comment above: "My joke wasn't meant to be offensive. It was an ironic joke, perhaps the translation wasn't done in an ironic sense."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If this is your idea of democracy, you ought to visit Italy as tourists. You are behaving as tourists."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I will always agree with US policy, whatever it is."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am tired of being Silvio Berlusconi: I want a heroic life."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The west "is bound to occidentalise and conquer new people."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There is no one on the world stage who can compete with me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If I, taking care of everyone's interests, also take care of my own, you can't talk about a conflict of interest."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't need to go into office for the power, I have houses all over the world, stupendous boats... beautiful airplanes, a beautiful wife, a beautiful family... I am making a sacrifice."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"'We could make a party. We have to do something or they will destroy everything we have built up."

"If I don't" go into politics "they'll tear me to shreds."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I never intended to be a politician, but out of love for Italy I felt I had to save it from the left, which is built around the former communist party."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am the Lord's anoited."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"One citizen is equal to another (in the eyes of the law) but perhaps this one is slightly more equal than the others, given that 50 percent of Italians have given him the responsibility of governing the country."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They missed a good opportunity to shut up."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have a sailboat, but in two years I've only been on it one day to bring the family home. And I haven't been to my house in Bermuda for two or three years. And the same goes for my house in Portofino... My life has changed. The quality has become terrible. What a brutal job."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I believe that if I left political life right now, Italy would fall into the hands of the communists... These are real communists... They are the same men who have for years supported Pol Pot and all the communist dictators and regimes around the world."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The most keen can certainly find a second job, maybe unofficial."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rasmussen is not only a great colleague, he's also the best-looking prime minister in Europe. He's so good looking, I'm even thinking of introducing him to my wife."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Parma is synonymous with good cuisine. The Finns don't even know what prosciutto is."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We should be conscious of the superiority of our civilisation, which consists of a value system that has given people widespread prosperity in those countries that embrace it, and guarantees respect for human rights and religion... This respect certainly does not exist in the Islamic countries."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have little hair because my brain is so big it pushes (the hair) out."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry for having said communists eat babies. But if you want, I can organise a conference in which I will prove communists have really eaten babies and done even worse things."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you think that scent is? It's the smell of sanctity."
PURE COMEDY GOLD!!!

I don't think joining the union was a bad call, I'm all for it. It has some nationalistic and cultural difficulties but in the long run it'll be good for us all. If anything it's a sign that we've grown up and put our war-torn past behind us to start concentrating on expanding economicly instead of territorialy.

As for Berlusconi I think he seems like a funny guy to hang out with but I would never vote for him, well it'll be over in two months.

Just a nitpick.
Berlusconi is President of the Council not of the Union.
There's a difference.

Currently there are calls for the establishment of a presidency.
(odds on it will be Schroder).

But to call Slithry Silvio the leader of the union is a bit of a misnomer. He has no power.

This one is one of the funniest:
Quote:
"Rasmussen is not only a great colleague, he's also the best-looking prime minister in Europe. He's so good looking, I'm even thinking of introducing him to my wife."
And if you look at the pictures I guess his wife wouldn't mind.


Rasmussen is the danish prime minister.


And this is Berlusconi (he even looks like they could cast him in The Godfather 4)

What a prick! He is a total asshole and not the right guy for this job. He got the job because he verry verry rich, corrupt and some people even say he's a mobster.
