We like hilarious quotes as well as the next guy and gal. Usually for the better ones, one need look no further than politicians. Here's one of our recent favorites from Italian Prime Minister Mario Renzi who is entering his second year in office.
Queried about America's upcoming presidential election, he was asked if he could work with Donald Trump if Trump won the election. Renzi, as do most politicos when asked a straight question, rolled out his diplomacy spiel, saying:
"As Italian prime minister, it's obvious that I would work well with whoever is president of the United States," Renzi said. "As an Italian citizen and leader of the Democratic Party, and in total respect for American democracy, I'm rooting for Hillary Clinton."
Calling what would clearly be a move toward more government regulation has to do with total respect let alone American democracy is hilarious. But we thank you anyway Mr. Prime Minister for the laugh.
