From a British percpective.
We all know how uptight the Britons are, even when they talk, you would think they have constipation. Now, one of their MPs was being asked about Obama's appearance on Jay Leno show. He said "It was unpresidential and undignified for a president to appear on a Chat Show (as they call it in Britain) if he wanted to deliver a message, the best venue would be near the fire place of the oval office with selected press representatives.
The host then said Berlusconi appeared on talk shows and even recorded a song.
You could detect the brazen contempt in his voice, he said "Berlusconi is a joker, even the Italians are embarrassed of him" in other words, granted the Italians are a disgrace unto themselves, but they are ashamed of being associated with Berlusconi
