The way it sounds when i read it, sounds like someone from Boston saying pecker.

You obviously are unfamiliar with the joys of English and American dialects. In eastern New england the world Pecker would be pronounced without a terminal R (theh ah pekkas at hahvahd) Similarly in some southern dialects. On the other hand in parts of working class New York (an accent thats dying) a terminal r is sometimes added (that Pecker is some great hawckey player)

Then theres UK dialects.

I have to disagree. The German SPD parlamentarian under attack actually stated a truth which other politicians did not speak out: That Berlusconi has people in his government (Bossi, Fini) who make our Austrian Haider become pale when listening to their fascist bargle. But of course Fini changed soooo much. Nowadays, we can't hear him say anymore like in 1994 tha Mussolini was the greatest statesman of the 20th century. ("Today I wouldn't say this anymore.")
And then a guy with such people in his government has the guts to call a German Socialist a Nazi. Analogy: A German I don't like=Nazi
Berlusconi sure makes friends north of the Alps.

Are you bloody trying to offend me tonight?

I'd pronounce Pekka as peck-ah, which would be the average southern UK version of pronouncing the word pecker (being a coll. for male genitals...), so I can see some of PH's point.

Why do these parliamentarians believe such stuff is any of their damned business?

And it seems that the German left can dish out the NAZI talk, but can't take it.

The EU parliamentarians should be concerned about how he acts in his capacity as EU president. It's up to the Italian voters to judge what he does in his capacity as Italian president.

Actually, this is a very interesting issue to debate, esp. Since the entire modern Israeli mentality and political outlook is completely opposite to the jews of europe, because of the Holocaust. That's also one of the reasons Israel has nukes.
