Napoleon Christ

Italian prime minister Silvio Burlusconi claims to be the Jesus Christ of politics. Last week he said he was like Napoleon. So which is it? He claimed that no one has done as much for his country since Napoleon. Now he says, "I am a patient victim, I put up with everyone, I sacrifice myself for everyone." - story

Perhaps he brings it upon himself?

...and I thought Bush was the Christ.

This reminds me of the story by Nikolai Gogol called Diary of a Madman where the main character believes himself to be the King of Spain!

Your link was too long, it got cut off but I was able to search for the book by author an title. It sounds interesting.

As a followup to this story read http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/831

It seems the italian prime minister, christ himself, fired his own minister of institutional reforms for wearing a t-shirt with the danish muslim cartoons under his suit... and showing it on tv.
