Silvio Berlusconi (Italiano Prime Minister) backs Mccain due to age

[P J C]

ROME -- It's not clear this is the kind of international endorsement Sen. John McCain is looking for.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a charismatic figure who often hams it up with the press, waded into the U.S. presidential race on Thursday by saying he preferred McCain, 71, because then Berlusconi would no longer be the eldest leader at international meetings.

"I suppose I could express my own personal preference for one of the candidates, the Republican candidate," Berlusconi said. "And this is for a very selfish reason, and that is that I would no longer be the oldest person at the upcoming G-8 because McCain is a month older than me."

The controversial Italian leader, who recently returned to power again, even went on to rattle off his and McCain's birthdates to prove the point.

Oh, and one more thing: The man standing beside him at Villa Madama when he made the remarks was President Bush, who is in the midst of an 8-day farewell trip through Europe and the United Kingdom. Bush chuckled, but didn't address the endorsement in his own remarks.

Yes Berlusconi has his hands full in the country and has seen what Muslim turds have done in pockets of Italy.  They are trying so hard to get these black muslims who come from Africa into Italy with their drugs, prostitution, rape and crime just like we have here that the Carrabinerie (Italian Police) most of their time are locked in these pockets where these Muslims are at.  Europe needs to wake up asap and just throw them out.

Any endorsement is good for McCain...
   He has to make a clear difference between himself and Obama, otherwise the brainwashed sheep will go with the winds of change.

This is sort of a joke.  I think Mccain is 1 day older than Bersconi (or something lie that)

McCain was born Aug 29 1936 and Berlusconi was born Sep 29 1936

Berlusconi looks much younger the McCain... and he's probably much richer too!

It is a fact that people of the Irish blood tend to look older faster.
