Silvio Berlusconi Will Not Be Distracted By His Libido During Eurozone Negotiations

By

Not even her position as the world’s most powerful woman has prevented German Chancellor Angela Merkel from becoming the victim of playboy premier Silvio Berlusconi’s sexist language. The gaffe-prone tycoon has been overheard referring to the German leader as an “unfuckable lard-arse”, according to wiretaps reported by Italian newspapers. [Independent]

    Such a great story and the only value-added is one mildly funny tag?

    Come on Matt, you know better than that.

    Ha! Bess woulda hit that one out of the park… guess Matt had a CFA cram session (cough-happy hour) to get to, or wanted to show Bess she's still needed.

    Critics: First, do you really think Bess would tolerate competition in her sphere? Second, Matt's insider perspective adds value. Third, I love it when Bess flirts with the reader, which I imagine to be me alone, and it would creep me out if Matt started flirting with me.

    What posts has he done this week that have provided insider perspective? All the stuff he did was in BL's voice when he could've/should've been doing his own thing.

    she clearly is considering everything he did this week was an unoriginal imitation of her style, straight down to jokes/headlines she's done before.

    I mean stuff like the Buffett/BAC post. That was good stuff and wasn't a complete jacking of Levin's style.

    Unfuckable lardass is an amazing phrase that shows an incredible command of prose. He's like the Nabokov of leathery douchebags.
