Just how stupid ARE Italian politicians? An Italian senator’s boast on television that he cheated traffic jams in Rome during a visit by United States President George W. Bush by calling an ambulance, may cost him a court appearance, officials said yesterday.
Conservative opposition senator Gustavo Selva risked being late for a TV interview on Saturday because streets around the Senate were blocked for Bush’s visit. So he dialled 118 for an ambulance asking to be rushed to his heart specialist - giving the TV studio’s address. “I used an old journalist’s trick to get here,” he boasted on live television.
