Berlusconi Goes Off On Heckler (VIDEO)

10 Mar

The Huffington Post

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi abruptly called off a news conference Wednesday after he was repeatedly heckled by a man who was reportedly a freelance journalist.
Before ending the news conference the Italian leader did, however, make sure to get in a good parting shot by telling the heckler: "You are not only making yourself look rude, but also ridiculous. I can understand why you are so angry because every morning when you go and look at yourself in the mirror and you see yourself, you have already ruined your day. "
At the end of the clip you can see Berlusconi's defense minister grabbing the man by his coat in a attempt to eject him.

The Stage - Reviews

Bongo Club, Edinburgh: Taking one Liverpool football fan's true tale as his end point, writer John Graham Davies has created a long, involved and hilarious shaggy dog story for Paul Duckworth to sprawl across this play of two halves. The fact of that tale, a drunken meeting with Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi during the Liverpool versus AC Milan European Cup Final of 2005, allows Davies to unleash Kenny, a new flawed - but sound in all the important areas - working class anti-hero.

David Mills, the British lawyer who was the witness, had already been convicted of accepting a $600,000 bribe.
