Silvio tongued
Silvio Berlusconi has made a grand entry as Italy takes over the six-month presidency of the EU, saying this to a German member of the European Parliament who accused him of having conflicts of interests between his political role and media interests:

"Mr Schulz, I know there is in Italy a man producing a film on the Nazi concentration camps. I would like to suggest you for the role of Kapo. You'd be perfect,'' Berlusconi exclaimed to jeers in the chamber."

Guess that means Berlusconi's Lega Nord ally, Umberto Bossi, won't be doing a screen test for the role as expected.
