Berlusconi's economic stimulus package: "Marry a millionaire."

For many years, it's been a toss up. Who's the bigger asshole? George Bush or Silvio Berlusconi? It might be hard for some to imagine, but I think Berlusconi just might have pulled ahead in that race. While campaigning for the upcoming elections, Berlusconi appeared on the television show, "Punto di Vista," and fielded this question by a female student: "How is it possible to raise a family without the security of a job or a fixed income?" The response of the "Cavaliere"? "As a father, I would recommend that you marry one of my sons, or someone of similar means." Unable to control himself, he added, "And with a smile like that you shouldn't have any problem."
