Berlusconi says he is world's most popular leader

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has compared himself to Jesus Christ and Napoleon, boasted today that he was the world's most popular leader.
The conservative premier, in his third term in office, said opinion poll findings in his possession showed his popularity at just over 75 per cent, making him far more popular than US President Barack Obama - or any other head of government.

"The opinion polls I know say that he (Obama) is at 59 per cent. Only (Brazilian President Luiz Inacio) Lula tops 60 per cent - he is at 64 per cent. So mine is a record high," he said in Naples where he attended a May Day concert.

On his way out of the concert hall, the 72-year-old Mr Berlusconi - who has proclaimed himself the Jesus Christ of Italian politics and once said he was second only to Napoleon, except taller - was heckled by protesters who shouted "go away!".

Commentators agree Mr Berlusconi enjoys high popularity ratings despite the economic crisis - the International Monetary Fund expects Italy's economy to contract by 4.4 per cent this year - although perhaps not as high as he claims.

A poll published last month by left-leaning La Repubblica daily said support for Mr Berlusconi stood at 56 per cent and had risen in April for the first time since October thanks to his hands-on response to a deadly earthquake.

Mr Berlusconi, who regularly complains of unfair treatment by the media despite directly or indirectly controlling 90 percent of Italy's television, put his own popularity at 75.1 per cent.

"These are independent surveys, but they are not promptly published," he said.

I remember the Beatles saying they were more popular than Jesus.

Wow!
Let's see him pull that one off

in this society that we all live in. Its not hard for me to believe that a political figure or a rock band has higher "ratings" than Jesus. so if you were goin for shock value...Im sorry but you failed

Me too...it went over well.

Actually it was John Lennon and he said it in a silly amused way after arriving in the US and being overwhelmed by the publics reaction. That of course alarmed all the bible thumpers who then made it something it wasn't. Their reaction then...burning records wasn't much different than their reaction to Harry Potter books...burn those too.

You know...kinda like Hitler did?

Anyway...Italy urgently needs you!

Well I was never one to make anyone out to be a god, not even Jesus Christ, but if I were, I would stil prefer one I can see as opposed to one I can't. Either way it's a bit bizarre.

I saw Jesus yesterday. He was standing in line at Burger King. At least his name tag on his coveralls said Jesus. He sure looked Mexican though. I always took him for a white dude. At least that is what all the pictures of Jesus portray him. That and I thought Jesus had brown hair, not black.

you know, i usually like your posts....

Comparing oneself to Napoleon is quite ballsy

Who cares what this Italian dude said?He is wrong anyways.Jesus is the most famous human being that ever lived, whether you believe in his divinity or not.Pretty much everybody on Earth for the last couple thousand years has heard of Jesus at one time or another.No one can top that.

haha Even Napoleon had his Waterloo...just ask Wellington and Blucher.

/cue neighing horses

Maybe the Italian Jesus and the clown in Mexico who thinks he is the Anti Christ should get together for a celebrity death match!
