This is the bit I like:
:
Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice".
The White House apologised for what it called "sloppy work" and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.

Aside from the basic incompetance of the 'official', why on earth do the press need to be told who the other world leaders are? Can't they use google for themselves?
You know it's getting old when even the sap is wising up./
