Italy: Gaddafi fails to show up at top-level meeting in Rome
Rome, 12 June (AKI) - The speaker of Italy's lower house cancelled a top-level conference in honour of Muammar Gaddafi in Rome on Friday after the Libyan leader failed to arrive.
"The conference with Gaddafi has not been held due to the delay by Libyan (leader) Gaddafi," said Gianfranco Fini, a senior ally of Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. "The two-hour delay is not justified."
Gaddafi was scheduled to meet Fini late Friday and take part in a conference with the speaker and former Italian foreign minister Massimo D'Alema.
Gaddafi had failed to arrive two hours after the agreed time and at 6.30 p.m. in Rome Fini called off the meeting.
Earlier on Friday Gaddafi pledged to give greater priority to Italian companies doing business in his country, but warned business leaders against "corrupting" the Libyan people.

I have heard some years ago that Gaddafi is a cross-dresser. He could blend in perfectly with the crowd of aging ladies.

You think maybe Guido did the old double tap behind Gaddafi’s left ear??
He looks like Dame Edna.
Thank for the ping Ali Veritas.
So, I wonder where he was?
Maybe he met a cute guy.
