Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi got Italy's lower house of Parliament to agree today on a controversial crime bill, which critics say would allow him to wiggle out of various corruption charges.
Here's what the oft-prosecuted Berlusconi had to say:
I'm the universal record-holder for the number of trials in the entire history of man -- and also of other creatures who live on other planets."
I'd fact-check this, but I'm not sure there's an intergalactic version of the Guiness Book of World Records. Guess we'll have to take his word for it.
