Uncharacteristically Uncharismatic?


Now, Berlusconi may have many faults, as do many of us, but he is undoubtedly a shrewd and clever man. After all, not only is he the Prime Mininster of Italy but he is also an extraordinary entrepenuer. His successes include being the founder and major shareholder of one of Italy's ten largest privately owned companies which currently operates in media and finance. The company's portfolio includes three national analogue television channels, various digital television channels, as well as some of the major Italian news magazines. He's definitely no light weight, particularly in the Charisma department.

So you would think he would be aware of the effects of his behaviour and in control of his media image.

Therefore we were utterly suprised to find this video on YouTube showing Berlusconi goosing a traffic warden.

I have to say we were relieved to discover later that this is a fake and the gentleman doing a marvelous impersonation is called Mauritzio Antonini.

Phew!
