Berlusconi Ti Odio

Tuesday July 26, 2005
"Tiranno, folle, bandito, mafioso, rambo di periferia, anlfabeta della democrazia, piazzista e menagramo." These are some of the epithets, offensive remarks, and disparaging slights made about Silvio Berlusconi, the prime minister of Italy, and there's more in "Berlusconi I Hate You". It's a new book that consists of a collection of more than 500 insults, all reported over the years by ANSA, Italy's national news agency, and is being published by the Mondadori publishing house, part of Berlusconi's media empire.

How's that for a savvy businessman? Profit from the coarseness of your enemies!
