Presidente? Presidente?

November 4th, 2008 | 12:45 pm

I have no idea what's going on here, but I'm guessing it's not good. And while it's not good, it still makes me laugh. If anyone knows Italian and has any clue as to what the deal is here, feel free to let us know in the comments. I (like the Presidente) am dying to know.

    Look at the audience, they are all like "did we just watch this old fart die right in front of us"?

    This is not the current president, but Andreotti, a past president : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulio_Andreotti

    He basically froze but then later they tried to blame it on the fact that they had to go to a commercial break (which they went to immediately when they saw he was non-responsive) - it's not true - he literally froze and zoned out and they later brought him back out to show he was "ok." Typical Italian media - this channel is of course controlled by the Italian Premier, Silvio Berlusconi.
