'We Would All Like To Be Tanned Like Naomi Campbell and Obama'

Earlier this month when Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi noted how beautiful Barack Obama's "tan" was, the predictable outrage followed.

Well, apparently Silvio isn't done tweaking The Messiah. Expect more hyperventilating from the left when they see his latest remarks.

Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi brushed aside international outrage from earlier this month on Sunday to make reference once again to US president-elect Barack Obama's "suntan."

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 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.
