Ho Ho Silvio: Italy's Prime Minister in Blackface (Again)

berlusconi1This one is for our Italian colleagues, inheritors of a long and cherished political heritage, from The Guardian:
Not satisfied with having once referred to Barack Obama as "sun-tanned", Silvio Berlusconi today returned to the subject, telling a reporter he was paler than the US president.

After a journalist commented that his response to the global economic crisis made him seem like Obama, Italy's prime minister, who is famed for his even, year-round tan, shot back: "I'm paler, also, because it's been so long since I've been in the sun." He quickly added: "He is more handsome, younger and taller."
