Berlusconi Calls Merkel “An Unf***able Fat-A**”
Tweet
Not even her position as the world’s most powerful woman has prevented German Chancellor Angela Merkel from becoming the victim of playboy premier Silvio Berlusconi’s sexist language.
The gaffe-prone tycoon has been overheard referring to the German leader as an “unf***able fat-a**”, according to wiretaps reported by Italian newspapers. The offensive remark is the latest in a string of embarrassing revelations involving the 74-year-old Prime Minister, who three years ago caused a diplomatic incident by describing US President Barack Obama as “suntanned”.
Investigators overheard the latest offending remarks during a wiretapped conversation between the premier and the man accused of supplying prostitutes to Mr Berlusconi’s notorious parties in Rome and Sardinia. Italian newspapers have previously revealed salacious developments uncovered by investigating magistrates.
In the days before the taped conversation, German officials had been urging the Italian government to speed up its implementation of budget cuts.
