What was that term Mickey Cantor used to describe Indiana voters?Everyone in Europe is a socialist Liberal arugula-swilling white wine-eating gay elite terrorist statist freedom-hating fairy, except for one man: Silvio Berlusconi, who said today that he favors John McCain, and did so by mocking him: “I suppose I could express my own personal preference for one of the candidates, the Republican candidate, and this is for a very selfish reason, and that is that I would no longer be the oldest person at the upcoming G8.” So far, this is the most reasonable explanation any individual has offered for supporting John McCain.

This story already has a built-in snark. We can all go home now and watch teevee.

I didn’t know Members Only made shirts.

I’m just glad that Sinead O’Connor is back in the news. But she has certainly aged!

flamflurm June 12, 2008 at 5:24 pm

Berlu can’t be drinking white wine in this pic. He’s got his terrorist prayer beanie on. Jesus, you’re ignurnt.

SayItWithWookies June 12, 2008 at 5:24 pm

He may not be the oldest, but he’ll still be the one who most resembles a pirate. “Pass the ARRRugula!”

Looks like Sil’s busy trying to catch up in the skin cancer department.

What’s with the headgear? Was he headed to a Dunkin Donuts ad shoot?

If there’s one political I hate as much as Bush, it’s got to be Berlusconi. He approved that law in Italy that states a woman can’t be a victim of rape if she’s wearing jeans. No joke.

“On the other hand,” continued Berlusconi, “I worry about Mccain a bit. Sometimes he can’t even remember whether Senator Obama is a Sunni or a Shiite.”

Sussemilch June 12, 2008 at 5:29 pm

Check out those white teeth. Soooo much nicer than McStain.

and he’s now on top of the Veepstakes list…

If you’ve ever seen wealthy, middle-aged Italian tourists, they all look like this guy: extremely overtanned and oily.

AngryBlakGuy June 12, 2008 at 5:34 pm

…and he wouldnt be the only person dozing off during G8 conferences

ronaldpagan June 12, 2008 at 5:35 pm

Vaffanculo, Berlusconi.

Brutus Harlot June 12, 2008 at 5:40 pm

Berlusconi’s older than the chocolate chip cookie!

NegativeZero June 12, 2008 at 5:40 pm

[re=14825]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Someone should have told the guy on the far right to take off the giant aviators before becoming extremely overtanned.

catastrophina June 12, 2008 at 5:41 pm

Berlusconi is hilarious. Except for all the ways he’s not.

Manofsteel June 12, 2008 at 5:43 pm

I didn’t know Berlusconi was an affluent woman from the 1970s battling cancer.

And When does Italy’s perennially volatile beaurocracy implode and get replaced by an equally unstable, fragmented pile of crap? Doesn’t that happen, like, every few weeks or so?

anabellum June 12, 2008 at 6:08 pm

hes cute…but i bet he doesnt have a condom named after him…

bitchincamaro June 12, 2008 at 6:10 pm

For a second, I thought we were talking about this Syl:

Must have run out of syrup tossing Bush’s salad for so long. Sorry Silvio, you may be moving to McWalker for a change, but it’ll still taste like ass in the end.

anabellum June 12, 2008 at 6:15 pm

[re=14825]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: im hoping that was joke…

shortsshortsshorts June 12, 2008 at 6:37 pm

I hear he gave WALNUTS WAAYYY to much money, but due to the decriminalization of false account statements in Italy (which the fucker propounded) I suppose one may never know.

HollowBrain June 12, 2008 at 7:33 pm

Great even the Italians are taking pot shots at our candidates now.

JSDC007 June 12, 2008 at 8:38 pm

Come November, Berlusconi will be out of power, then back again in power, then out again. What he thinks is of no consequence.

Mr-Clark June 12, 2008 at 8:51 pm

Jim Newell,

Silvio Berlusconi is only a month younger than Midge. But, Midge still looks like he lived during Biblical Times and Mr. Berlusconi looks young enough to be his son or grandson for that matter.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr-Clark

TGY June 12, 2008 at 9:32 pm

So, WALNUTS appeals to corrupt narcissists. Who knew?

norbizness June 12, 2008 at 9:36 pm

He’s the Italian Jack LaLanne!

masterdebater June 12, 2008 at 11:14 pm

A country that has had as many successful governments as Italy over the last 60 years or so, must be listened to.

shortsshortsshorts June 13, 2008 at 12:29 am

[re=15043]Mr-Clark[/re]: Plastic surgery. Respect (er something).

[re=14886]anabellum[/re]:

Must have been a joke. 71 is not middle-aged anywhere.

Mr-Clark June 13, 2008 at 2:25 am

[re=14921]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: You are endlessly amusing! I enjoy reading your comments.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr. Clark

Bob Hopeless June 13, 2008 at 5:39 am

How do you say doo-rag in Italian?

Bill_TX June 13, 2008 at 11:23 am

I really dig that Mussolini vibe that Berlusconi gives off.

jann9884 June 13, 2008 at 12:11 pm
