What do you get the man who has been married six times and has fathered at least 20 children? Well, if you're Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and your recipient is South African President Jacob Zuma, you get him pajamas and bedsheets. Because you just don't give a fuck, and you probably think it's pretty funny.

Did I ever tell you about the time Silvio Berlusconi sold me into slavery? He puts me on a ship to Thailand, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' 'Sconi, he's back in the States siring three beautiful children with my wife!
This is almost as tasteless as when he gave Countess Báthory all those fancy bath salts from the Body Shop.
He gave Lot the same thing a month after the whole Sodom debacle. Fucking tasteless.
"two bathrobes, two sets of bedsheets, two jackets, two pairs of sunglasses and leather bags."
Look, dude simply knows the essentials when you're living life at the pace they are. (A) things that will get messy and you need backups of (bathrobes, bedsheets) and (B) items for discretion's sake. Leather bags?? B's already thinking a decade ahead for Zuma here.
Later, they got drunk together on Martini and Rossi Asti Spumanti and Buthelesi Farms Wine, sang Lethu Mshini Wami (Bring me my machine gun), plotted out the evening rapes, and had a pissing contest over who was more corrupt: "You are more corrupt my friend!" "No, my friend *you* are more corrupt!"
Michelle Obama's lampshade looks kinda shady in this light.
