Botched Bio
(Fox News) - President Bush and Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi have reaffirmed their close friendship at the G8 summit in Japan.
But the biography put out by the White House press office in its briefing book for the summit described Berlusconi as "one of the most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice."
It adds the Italian leader is "regarded by many as a political dilettante who gained his high office only through the use of his considerable influence on the national media."
White House officials have apologized to Berlusconi and the Italian people, calling it an "unfortunate mistake."
