You Won't Be Able To Unsee This Grotesque Drawing Of Angela Merkel On The Cover Of An Italian Newspaper
Milan, Italy — Here's just another reminder that politics in other parts of the world makes the US system look civil.
The cover of rightwing newspaper Libero offers up a nice drawing of Angela Merkel, with a gigantic posterior, and Mario Monti crawling out from under it.

The message is pretty clear. Mario Monti, the technocrat PM who was installed after Berlusconi, is a tool of the Germans.
Also recall that Berlusconi has referred to Merkel as a "Lard Ass" which this is evidently a reference to.
And here's a closer look at the image.

Two other quick things to note.
The top of the paper is about Berlusconi's promise to refund the IMU tax, which we wrote about here.
And the headline above the drawing is about Monti costing Italy 1000s of jobs per day.
