(Newser) – Stubbornly unrepentant Silvio Berlusconi is insisting Italians support his behavior and "would like to be" him, reports the Telegraph. "Italians aren't stupid, and they prefer my government," added the randy prime minister, 74, on Italian television. The man who last week called himself  "superman" insisted that "nothing spicy" happened between him and a teen model he was dogging. He also repeated that he "couldn't remember" the night an escort said they had sex.

he keeps calling stupids, idiots, morons and communists or (catho-communists which is a pun on catholic) everyone who dares to contradict him and that exercise of robbery and tyranny that he calls his way in politics. he is a dangerous nutcase and he's shaming us, I wish to see the pig dead very soon, possibly slain .

and only a few ill persons want to be a ridiculous 74-years-old lunatic dwarf friend of the fascist, with orange skin, fake hair and a morbid obsession about communists, one who hires scores of whores in a row and can't get a hard-on without the help of exotic drugs.
