Do we want more funny stories about Berlusconi's crazy gaffes?

In other words, he's the Italian George W. Bush.

every country has one. i'd say there are parallels with putin, especially in the shitty dirty jokes and media dominance categories.

Say what you will about Putin, but the man does not deserve to be lumped in with W.

If anything, Vlad's intellect and strength are formidable enough to scare the shit out of me.

For fuck's sake, the man subdued a WILD TIGER BY HAND - that's, like, MARY SUE-level bad-ass, right there.

If Vladimir Putin wasn't real, he wouldn't even be believable by Marvel superhero standards - even WOLVERINE would roll his eyes over his over-the-top alpha-male traits.

i reserve judgment on putin's intellect given the biased, nationalist reforms he is pushing for russian history curricula. machiavellian expertise =! intellect.

but yeah i'm not going to sit here and pretend he isn't sexier than bush by far.

The Italians DO NOT like Berlusconi. When you have that much money and so many dodgy connections, you can make anything happen.

Throw in the fact that the opposition are pretty useless and you get his constant re-election.
