A Tale of Two Titties

AS the country wonders how Gordon Brown will use the swine flu outbreak as an excuse to put up taxes, Italy’s leader Silvio Berlusconi has other pre-occupations. Blonde, big breasted pre-occupations.
Brown is in the news for a) messing up the economy b) messing up the country.
Berlusconi is in the news for a) going to a blonde’s 18th birthday b)being fascinated by young women, as his wife, Veronica Lario, rather touchingly put it in an email to Italy's national news agency, Ansa. Which then found its way onto the front pages of most of Italy’s nationals a couple of days ago.
Ms Lario said old Silvio, who is more gaffe-prone than Prince Philip but always good value with it, was damaging the credibility of all Italian women with his wandering eye.
Which got me thinking, which would I rather have as a leader: a charmless, miserable Scot who breeds doom and gloom every time he opens his mouth, or a man who employs a former topless model as his equal opportunities minister (Mara Carfagna, pictured here)? (Let's face it, it doesn't make him a bad man).
It’s not a hard choice. As the world economy goes down the tubes and we’re all going to die of pig flu anyway, we might as well have a laugh while we can.
