The other day former Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi managed to confirm what many Europeans suspected – Berlusconi is in need of a frontal lobotomy. The evidence was Berlusconi's praise of World War II Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini and Mussolini's decision to side with Germany's Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Berlusconi is currently in the midst of a political come-back effort, despite having been convicted of tax fraud last year. How far his current campaign goes is anybody's guess.
You wouldn't think that backing Hitler, the murderer of over six million Jews would be a popular way to garner political support among Italian voters in this day and age, but apparently there's a sizeable anti-Semitic crowd in Italy and Berlusconi is perfectly willing to stoke that fire if it gains him votes. Of course, when you have the kind of money Berlusconi has, you can pretty much stoke any fire you want. That doesn't make him wealthier, but it does shows how stupid he is.
