Foot 'n Mouth (Berlusconi) rampant in Italy

Silvio Berlusconi, current Premier of Italy, is given to letting his mouth run free of brain interference and embarassing himself, his allies and his country. With an election coming up and his party behind in the polls, he's returned to a favourite theme, communists (yes, they still rustle about under the bed). In this case, Chinese ones.

I've been accused many times of saying that the communists eat babies. If you read the black book of communism, you'll discover that, in Mao's China, the communists didn't eat babies. They boiled them to fertilise the fields.

The Chinese government is upset.
