Silvio Berlusconi has once again let his mouth run away with him after telling women to marry rich, older men like himself. The Italian prime minister and billionaire businessman, who is known for his public blunders, joked about marriages of convenience at a political youth rally for his People of Freedom Party. The 73-year-old told the audience: "Women are lining up to marry me, because I'm a nice guy, because I'm loaded, because I know how to deal with women." He added that females who prefer older men think: "He's old. He dies and I inherit." The politician also made a "joke" about Hitler, saying the dictator's followers discovered he was still alive and urged him to return to power. His comments were greeted with applause and laughter at the rally but his critics will not be as amused. Last year Mr Berlusconi was involved in a sex scandal after allegations that he was having relationships with young women, including an escort. His wife Veronica Lario said at the time that she was starting divorce proceedings and the couple have now separated. Source: Sky News
