Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in a top level intellectual political speech in Milan at the Med Forum, affirmed ” I am not a playboy anymore . I am rather a play old” The guy is unbelievable!
Unfortunately he did not stop there. Mr Berlusconi mentioned as well that he is the inventor of the “cou-cou policy”. The Italian prime minister’s odd choice of words was a reference to an incident two years ago when, at a summit in Trieste, he hid behind a lamp post before springing out in front of Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel, with the words “cou-cou” (Italian for “peek-a-boo”).
After recovering from the surprise, Mrs Merkel spread her arms in welcome and said: “Oh, Silvio!”
“I inaugurated a new kind of diplomacy, peek-a-boo diplomacy … a very special kind of politics,” he told a summit of politicians and diplomats from Mediterranean countries in Milan.
