The main problem with Berlusconi’s recent statement or joke about president-elect Barack Obama being “tanned” is that he doesn’t know how to say something like “oops, I can see that what I said could lead to a misunderstanding”, or “I’m sorry that my statement came out the way it did – I really did not want to offend anyone”. No, his way of defending himself it to define anyone who criticized his statement as an imbecil.
Mr. Berlusconi, please consider me one of those imbecils.
