I am an imbecile

this is how Berlusconi defined those who criticize his statement about Obama's "suntan".

So, a couple of years ago I was a "coglione" (an ass hole or literally a "ball"), now I am also imbecile.

So are the journalists who reported it, the diretors of TV stations that run the video of his declaration, the 1200 people (so far) who wrote a comment on the NYT site.

Italian Political Science, Italian Prime Minister, poor Italy.
