... he would be Silvio Berlusconi. This guy is comic gold. When he's not consorting with Mafia members, making jokes at scenes of horrific natural disasters or just straight 'pimpin ho's' to other foreign dignitaries, he's coming out with shit like this.
Silvio Berlusconi: I am inferior to no one in history | World news | guardian.co.uk
Just to give you his best quotes from this press conference last weekend.
"I am, and not only in my own opinion, the best prime minister who could be found today. I believe there is no one in history to whom I should feel inferior. Quite the opposite"
But, no Silvio topped that piece of magic with...
"In absolute terms, I am the most legally persecuted man of all times, in the whole history of mankind, worldwide, because I have been subjected to more than 2,500 court hearings and I have the good luck – having worked well in the past and having accumulated an important wealth – to have been able to spend more than €200m in consultants and judges ... I mean in consultants and lawyers"
That underlined portion has to be one of the greatest comic gaffes in history, you just couldn't write it. He actually basically admitted to a press conference that he's been bribing judges
He's basically managed to turn a Western European state into a banana republic with an insane super-powerful leader. It's kind of frightening & hilarious at the same time.
Anyway, let's just review one of his best moments on camera...
