Asked in an interview with Time magazine if after the row over the Nazi gaffe he would consider a more cautious approach, Berlusconi said: ''I'm not a traditional politician and I have a sense of humour. ''I'll try to soften it and become boring, maybe even very boring, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.''

A valiant endeavor for PM Berlusconi!

Only the French and the Germans are allowed to use anti-american hate rhetoric. Any attempt to use their own rhetoric against THEM is strictly forbidden.

'I'll try to soften it and become boring, maybe even very boring, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.''

Boredom and angst the German and French will surely understand. The intellectual Left is paralyzed with nihilistic boredom.

"Boring"? Bless him! Berlusconi is the antithesis of "boring!" He's a real MAN, after all!

Chirac and Schroeder vying for the 'most odious' crown. Not to say that Chretien doesn't belong in the group!

'' The quote, which means ''I am a Berliner'' in German, is from U.S. President John Kennedy's landmark visit to then-divided Berlin in 1963.

The declaration, which can also mean ''I am a doughnut,'' won the hearts of many Germans at the height of the Cold War.

If said by Teddy Kennedy it is correctly translated “I am a Rum Tort.”
