But the intersection between the two media-loving pols didn't end there: In an interview with Corriere della Sera magazine, Gore opined that Berlusconi would be electable in the U.S., albeit with difficulty, before bowing out by admitting he was not much of an expert in Italian politics.
The remark raised some eyebrows and was trumpeted by Berlusconi-owned Il Giornale paper as approval of Silvio's conflict-of-interest issue.
Also, instead of basing his Current TV studio in Rome, Gore chose Milan, lured by Milan mayor Letizia Moratti, a Berlusconi supporter. Current also tapped Tommaso Tessarolo, a former Mediaset consultant, as its Italo topper.
