Italian cabinet minister Roberto Calderoli resigned on Saturday after wearing a T-shirt printed with cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

I wonder if Ezra Levant'll give Calderoli a writing gig at the Sub Standard.

Calderoli, a member of the anti-immigration Northern League party, wore the T-shirt underneath a suit this week. He told the Italian news agency ANSA it was a "personal initiative" that was meant to invite "real dialogue.''

"Real dialogue," huh? Here was Calderoli on the 15th of February, which, for those of you scoring at home, was 72 fucking hours ago!!!

Calderoli also said that, "the time has come to put an end to this story that we need to dialogue with these people as they only want to humiliate us," asking "what have we become, the civilisation of melted butter?"

Apparently a different Roberto Calderoli, or something...
