Berlusconi Loses A Fan By: Mark W Adams

I thought this headline was an interesting window into the egotistical nature of a national leader, but not particularly noteworthy.

Berlusconi Claims to be World's Most Popular Leader
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has compared himself to Jesus Christ and Napoleon, boasted that he was the world's most popular leader, Reuters reports.

Then I saw this item, which raised an eyebrow.

Berlusconi's wife to divorce him

I'M NOT ONE OF YOUR FANS

Because SHE'S NOT ONE OF YOUR FANS EITHER!

Seems the old guy (he's 72) was acting a bit ridiculous at an 18 year old's birthday party, and his wife got pissed.

Often as not, it takes a particular kind of douchebag to run for national office no matter where you're from.
