Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has long been known as a loose cannon in the public arena. His utterings can often be highly divisive. Critics see him as a crackpot who damages Italy's image abroad, but Berlusconi's supporters see him as a charismatic speaker with an unusual sense of humor.
