The BBC was doing a piece about Silvio Berlusconi getting assaulted with a statue at a rally yesterday and they were interviewing an Italian journalist. He made a snotty comment to the effect of "In the U.S., where madmen carry guns, Berlusconi would be dead. In Italy, madmen only carry cheap, commemorative statue souvenirs." The BBC reporter, however, shut him down cold by responding "yes, but in the U.S. that madman never would have gotten close to the prime minister."

That seemed to leave the Italian reporter at a loss for words.
