Loosely translated, that reads: "There is a phrase of Shakespeare that is perfect for Berlusconi. The liars have a serious defect, they never remember what they say."While Mr. Sbandi's Shakespeare-quoting is certainly memorable, his has hardly been the only anti-Berlusconi tweet floating around:Fo: «C'è una frase di Shakespeare perfetta per #Berlusconi.
