Mein Gott!: Much ado about Italy's PM, in taking the EU reins, making an unflattering comparison of a German official to a concentration camp kapo. Like Berlusconi was elected for his strict adherence to ethical governance. I think it was brilliant. There's no better time to poke sharp sticks into the eyes of the Germans. Dare them to march on Rome. It's not like the guy has any credibility to lose - and you know his countrymen had a great chuckle.
