Bill v. Silvio

[danalwyn]

"Rich people spend a lot more money on their own problems, like baldness, than they do to fight malaria."

Bill Gates, who has just pledged $10 billion to develop vaccines for the world's poorest countries, speaking about Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy, whose numerous public relations fiascoes, including the fallout of his hair transplant problems, have obscured the fact that he helped cut Italy's foreign aid budget in half for 2009.

Berlusconi is a thug, a bigot, a narcissist, and a clown. Then again this choice of leader is not inappropriate for Italy, where the country runs in spite of high government officials. They exist to provide public entertainment, one must conclude. Pity they didn't elect the porn star to leadership instead.
