Silvio Berlusconi still 'envious' of Barack Obama's tan'

We read:

"Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has brushed aside outrage from earlier this month to refer once more to US president-elect Barack Obama's "tan". He told ANSA news agency his initial remark was intended as a "compliment", adding that he is equally "envious" of black supermodel Naomi Campbell.

"My compliment to Barack is a little envious," said Mr Berlusconi, who had what he described as a "long, cordial" telephone conversation with the new occupant of the White House - instigated by Obama - on November 7.

"We would all like to be tanned like Naomi Campbell and Obama," said the self-made billionaire, who sports a permanent tan, during a press conference in Pescara, Italy.
