The Left and Taste


There's something undeniably cheeky about Italy's Silvio Berlusconi. He is often too much and goes too far but what I most like about him is his utter contempt for Communism. He will most likely be returning to power as Prime Minister this weekend with the elections. He's known the world over for making outlandish statements. The other day, he claimed his knowledge of Latin was so good that he could hold his own with Julius Caesar. Maybe so. This one, though, is richer still.

From the BBC:

Mr Berlusconi was quoted as saying that when he looked round parliament, he found that female politicians from the right were "more beautiful"..."The left has no taste, even when it comes to women," the 71-year-old was quoted as saying.
