Did anyone catch this at the NATO summit back in April?

Merkel is greeting all the delegates, Berlusconi arrives and... talks on his phone. Merkel looks annoyed, Gordon Brown seems to be thinking "What the hell is he doing?"

Wonder what was so important. :huh:

It's Berlusconi. It was probably something mundane, trivial, and stupid.

On the bright side, he's not one of those politicians that takes himself too seriously (lolchavez), but....

See, if I was a world leader the only time I'd do something like that is if there was a major emergency (a war, a terrorist attack... that kind of magnitude).

He certainly is a unique politician. There's no one quite like him. I'll let you decide whether that's good or bad.

Berlusconi claims that he was on the phone with a Turkish diplomat trying to secure Turkish support for the Danish secretary-general nomination.

Berlusconi vs Merkel in a brawl would be a really good fight. I think Merkel could kick some ass.

I'd be very wary of upsetting Merkel.

And Dax: Was that really his excuse? It's not a good enough reason to snub the German Chancellor in my opinion... how much of that will the media in Italy report?

But that's seriously what it's like with the no spic ingliz people at McDonalds.
