Euro Gravitas Summitry Watch "ON
Euro Gravitas Summitry Watch
"ON DECEMBER 12th European leaders sat down to lunch expecting to thrash out final details of a constitution for the European Union. But the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who was in the chair, had other ideas. ÒLet's talk about football and women instead. I know a lot about women, I've even featured in the pages of Playboy, but I know there are other people around this table who know even more,Ó he said. Turning jovially to the German chancellor, Mr Berlusconi remarked: ÒGerhard, you have had four wivesÑwhat can you tell us about women?Ó Neither Mr Schršder nor any of the women at the table was amused. It was an inauspicious opening. A day later Mr Berlusconi reported to a reconvened group that the talks had failed."

Not exactly the Philadelphia Convention, huh?
