Gone are the statesmen of stature – today’s leaders are a motley set of lechers and buffoons.
(...)
On Thursday’s Newsnight, just before a clip of Berlusconi eyeing up the comely and very blonde new Danish PM, an Italian guest complained that this was highly disrespectful to Italy. To which the obvious response was: “Remind us who kept electing the idiot?” Or, as the helium‑voiced comic Emo Phillips asked his German girlfriend when she moaned about the difficulty of finding a decent bagel in Berlin, “And whose fault’s that?”
If Berlusconi were the sole manifestation of the stupefying chasm between the hugeness of this crisis and the smallness of those supposedly dealing with it, that would be one thing. Yet a better reason for the minuscule Sarkozy to relish mention of his name is relief and gratitude. Without Berlo monopolising the ridicule, the spotlight would fall on the absurdity of Le President himself. Small wonder that Sarko was so keen to fly to Beijing in his £300 million bespoke jet: it is the only major capital in which he could share a conference table with native leaders without requiring his booster seat.
