Silvio Berlusconi Recycles

Bresso bites back

“I’m always in a good mood. And regarding make up, I don’t use much; I don’t need it as much as Berlusconi. I’m young, in good shape and haven’t had a facelift.”
Mercedes Bresso, governor of Italy’s Piedmont region, responds to a jibe from Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who suggested that Bresso was always in a sour mood because “when she gets up, she looks at herself in the mirror to put her make-up on — and sees herself. And so her day is already ruined.” It’s one of Berlusconi’s favorite jokes!
