Does his own jokes

Mirred in scandal he may be, but no one can deny Silvio Berlusconi is great entertainment. 'I have always made it so that every woman feels, how should I say, special' he recently told reporters when refuting allegations that he paid a child for sex. There really is no need to read a double entendre into that one: the use of 'how should I say' makes him sound like Frankie Howard in Up Pompeii! Still at least the writers of Up Pompeii! had the good sense to make Howard's Lurcio a slave. Such a character could not have been believable had he been an Italian leader, could he?
