Titolo: Stupido!

In quotes: Berlusconi in his own words
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is well known for his tendency to
make what one former Italian prime minister Massimo D'Alema has described as
"planetary gaffes".
He is also prone to make out-of-place, and often lewd, jokes - which is said
to be why his minders prevent journalists travelling with him.
Here is a selection of Berlusconi clangers:
In the wake of 11 September:
"We must be aware of the superiority of our civilisation, a system that has
guaranteed well-being, respect for human rights and - in contrast with
Islamic countries - respect for religious and political rights, a system
that has as its value understanding of diversity and tolerance...
"The West will continue to conquer peoples, even if it means a confrontation
with another civilisation, Islam, firmly entrenched where it was 1,400 years
ago."
His response to worldwide condemnation of the above speech:
"They have tried to hang me on an isolated word, taken out of context from
my whole speech."
"I did not say anything against the Islamic civilisation... It's the work of
some people in the Italian leftist press who wanted to tarnish my image and
destroy my long-standing relations with Arabs and Muslims"
On Danish PM Anders Fogh-Rasmussen:
"I think I should introduce him to my wife, because he is better-looking
than (Massimo) Cacciari." [Mr Cacciari is a former mayor of Venice rumoured
to be romantically attached to Mrs Berlusconi.]
On himself:
"The best political leader in Europe and in the world."
"There is no-one on the world stage who can compete with me."
"Out of love for Italy, I felt I had to save it from the left."
"The right man in the right job."
"I don't need to go into office for the power. I have houses all over the
world, stupendous boats... beautiful airplanes, a beautiful wife, a
beautiful family... I am making a sacrifice."
A joke about Aids told by Mr Berlusconi:
An Aids patient asks his doctor whether the sand treatment prescribed him
will do any good. "No," the doctor replies, "but you will get accustomed to
living under the earth."
His response to critics who said the joke was offensive:
"They have lost their minds; they really have come to the end of the line,
indeed they have gone beyond it. I would advise them, too, to undergo sand
treatment..."
On his trial, now suspended, in which he denies charges of bribing judges to
prevent the sale of a state-owned food company to rival Carlo de Benedetti:
"I believed and still believe that citizen Berlusconi should be praised for
having prevented the state's wealth from being looted... I was expecting a
Gold Medal for Civil Worthiness for ensuring the state earned 2,000bn
[lire]"
On his conflict of interest as prime minister and one of Italy's biggest
tycoons, with major media holdings:
"If I, taking care of everyone's interests, also take care of my own, you
can't talk about a conflict of interest."
On a proposal to base an EU food standards agency in Finland, rather than
the Italian city of Parma:
"Parma is synonymous with good cuisine. The Finns don't even know what
prosciutto is. I cannot accept this."
On history:
"The founders of Rome were Romulus and Remulus ..."
On Italian justice:
"Eighty-five per cent of the Italian press is left-wing and among the judges
it is even worse... There is a cancer in Italy that we have to treat: the
politicisation of the magistracy
