When Berlusconi was Prime Minister of Italy before, he wasn't always loved by his fellow European leaders. His jibe about the German MEP playing the role of a concentration camp guard disgusted many. At European summits, he was rumoured to go shopping in Brussels' upmarket antique shops when the meetings got too dull. Aside from his ally in support of the Iraq War and holiday-home-guest Tony Blair, he hadn't many friends. But this time around, will he have a bosom buddy?

Still... if Sarko wants to drop even further in the popularity ratings in France, being over-pally with Berlu would be a good way.
They can both fight over who is Tony's best friend.
False, as always.
The first call Berlusconi received was from Zapatero by the way.
