Actually, when Time magazine put him on their cover, he was only the "most important man in Europe".
Well, if this blog had a cover, we'd fix that caption. Obviously an oversight by the folks at Time.
So why is this Goldman Sachs advisor and un-elected Prime Minister of Italy the "most important man in Europe/the world?
Damned if I know. Seems to have something to do with his links to Goldman Sachs.
After all, they're the mega-bullies who've engineered the current economic crisis, and they're also profiting most handsomely from it. I shouldn't say Monti was not elected. Goldman Sachs elected him to be the democratically elected leader of Italy.
Getting their boy on the cover of Time must be something of a coup.
But I can see why Berlusconi had to go. His insatiable appetite for teen tarts was becoming a bit of an embarrassment.
So now Mario has his big test in front of him. He has to tame those commie-infected Italian labor unions. You know the ones. All about a living wage and paid holidays and the usual smorgasbord of union demands.
Enough of that!
